Ben Oloko, to enforce his fundamental human rights over the seizure of his mobile phones, detention
Oloko, on February, 28, last year, arrested, detained and his phones seized by the Chief Security Officer attached to the Government House, Enugu, for allegedly taking pictures at the Lion Building after a meeting. He, therefore, sued Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, his Chief Security Officer and the Commissioner of Police, Enugu State, demanding a written apology, the release of his seized phones and N200milion as general damages for the embarrassment he suffered.
He disagreed with the lawyer that his fundamental rights were breached with the seizure of his phones and the alleged verbal attacks he received and awarded N150, 000 against him.
Government house is a public space and citizens should be free to take pictures in and of public places. This judge is pure and simple ridiculous for making pronouncement without any legal foundation. What a shame.
