Justice Olufunke Sule-Amzat of a Lagos High Court sitting in Yaba, yesterday, ordered the Inspector General of Police and the Attorney General of the Federation to pay N400 million as compensation to families of four Ladipo market traders, who were extra-judicially killed by police officers in 2001.
Justice Sule-Amzat , however, exonerated Lagos State government through the Attorney General of Lagos from the killing. The judge in her judgment held that the fundamental liberties of the Ekwulobia four, including their rights to life, and dignity of the human person were clearly breached by the police officers, as they were executed despite not being sentenced by any court of law, nor were they found to have resisted arrest.“The officers mismanaged their firearms as there was no evidence of provocation.
Recall that the case file was returned from the Court of Appeal for High Court to hear the suit denovo.
