The Inspector General of Police, Mr Adamu Mohammed, on Wednesday, shunned the August 31, 2020 order of the Federal High Court in Abuja, directing him to produce a Bayelsa State governorship candidate,

Vijah Opuama, who has been in police detention since August 15, 2020.

He ordered that “the applicant shall be produced unfailingly in court on Monday September 7, 2020 at 10am prompt by any person holding him or the respondents named on the court processes i.e. the Inspector General of Police and the Assistant Commissioner of Police Monitoring Unit”. “That if the applicant is not brought before the court as specified on September 7, 2020, this court will not hesitate to order the appearance of the respondents before it,” the judge ruled.

Justice Taiwo had, on Monday, following an ex parte application moved by his lawyer, Odey, ordered the IGP and his co-respondent, to produce Opuama in court on Wednesday and directed them to show cause why the detainee should not be released unconditionally.
