Judge threatens to jail IGP Usman over alleged violation of court orders

The court on Thursday held that the action of the IGP to the rule of law is unbecoming of a top-ranking federal official and an affront to the 1999 Constitution.

The reaction of the court followed a suit instituted by four senior-ranking police officers from courses 33, 34 and 35 who were compulsorily and unlawfully retired from the force. In a judgment in the suit marked NICN/ABJ/21/M/2023, the court had nullified the premature retirement of the senior police officers numbering about 20 and ordered the Inspector General of Police and the Police Service Commission to immediately reinstate them.

This prompted Edwin Okoro, counsel to the aggrieved plaintiffs, to report the violation of the court order by IGP to the Industrial Court for remedy. “The same Constitution has given courts in this clime, including this court, the inherent power to enforce the constitutional provisions dito rule of law, against authorities and the people in the State called Nigeria.”
