A Lagos High Court sitting at the Commercial Courthouse, Tapa, has delivered a landmark judgment in favour of a businessman, Chukwuemeka Akachukwu Ewereaku, condemning the Nigeria Police Force and a private complainant for the unlawful arrest, detention, and intimidation of the trader over a N560,000 hair transaction dispute.
Justice Anjorin-Ajose ruled that the entire incident was civil and did not justify the involvement of the police.
