The court had also ordered the payment of N10 million to the applicant as special and general damages for the unlawful, illegal and unconstitutional denial of his rights and privileges as a Senior Officer of the Nigeria Police Force from 1993 till date.Justice Olajuwon, in a ruling on the contempt proceedings filed by Okoli’s lawyer, Arinze Egbo, also warned the IGP against noncompliance with the earlier court judgement.
The plaintiff, who prayed the court to order his reinstatement, said he was unlawfully retired in 1992 by the Police Council, presently known as the Police Service Commission , while serving in Bauchi State Command as a chief superintendent of police, among others.Meanwhile, the Nigeria Police Force said it was not aware the IGP was sentenced to three months in jail for disobeying court order.
The police said with respect to a matter making the round in the media that the IGP disobeyed a court order for the reinstatement of a dismissed officer of the Force, the IGP was not aware as the case was decided in 2011 even before the current IGP, Baba, assumed office. “The most recent judgement on the matter was given in 2011 which should ordinarily not fall under the direct purview of the current administration of the Force. Thus, the news is strange and astonishing.
