Justice Okon Abang dismissed the appeal for want of merit and substance. Delivering judgment on Monday on the appeal, Justice Abang held that the appellant failed to establish a miscarriage of justice in the judgment of a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja in the matter. The appellants comprising Felix Okonkwo, Ikenna Chibuike and Okafor Ugochukwu had dragged the Nigeria Police Force and the SSS before the high court for the enforcement of their fundamental human rights.
In his judgment, Justice Abang held that from the video footage tendered as exhibit by the appellants at the trial court, there was nowhere the operatives of the SSS were found at the scene of their arrest in the house of Ifeanyi Ejiofor in Anambra State. The appellate court Justice disagreed with the appellants in their claims that the N2 million compensatory damages were grossly insufficient.
