A Minna High Court,north central Nigeria, has ordered the arrest of the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Mokwa Local Government Area in Niger state, DSP Wakili Inusa, for refusing the service of court processes by bailiff.
The Presiding Judge of the Minna High Court 4, Justice Mohammed Mohammed, issued the bench warrant of arrest of the DPO on Wednesday.
Wakili Inusa, according to the court balilff, had refused to accept the court processes after reading through the documents.
The case according to court processes, one Issyaku and other applicants are seeking the enforcement of fundamental rights to dignity of their persons, personal liberty, fair hearing, freedom of movement and as well, the right to bail.
The Respondents in the suit are listed as the IGP, DCP Bello of FIB Special Taskforce, DSP Wakili Inusa, who is the DPO of Mokwa and one, Hamza Baba.
The applicants according to their Counsel, Mr. Philip Emmanuel, have been incarcerated for almost three months now by the police in Abuja after their arrest in Mokwa.
However, Justice Mohammed said the refusal of the DPO to receive the personal service of the court processes is an affront on the administration of criminal justice system.
He said: “As a law enforcement officer, the DPO is supposed to uphold the rule of law as done by the 1st and 2nd Respondents who are his superiors”.
“This court cannot encourage such misconduct from anybody, especially the police, who are statutorily the law enforcement officers”.
“In view of the above, bench warrant is hereby issued against Wakili Inusa, DPO Mokwa to be brought to this court forthwith “, Justice Mohammed ordered.
The judge also ordered the immediate release of all the applicants in the matter forthwith.
