Kidnappings of both foreigners and wealthy Nigerians for ransom are fairly common in the oil-producing south-east.

BABA SUWE FILLED AN APPEAL @ SUPREME COURT

Ace Nigerian actor, Mr Babatunde Omidina, a.k.a. Baba Suwe has filed an appeal at the Supreme Court against the decision of the Court of Appeal to quash the N25 million awarded as damages to him against the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.

Baba Suwe’s counsel, Bamidele Aturu filed the appeal at the Supreme Court on Friday.

Aturu is seeking an order from the Supreme Court setting aside the decision of the Court of Appeal and affirming the decision of the lower court.

The High Court of Lagos had ordered the NDLEA to pay Baba Suwe N25 million as damages after he was incarcerated for many days for alleged possession of hard drugs, but the Appeal Court set aside the High Court’s judgment in the matter.

In the appeal filed, Baba Suwe contended that the Court of Appeal ought to have affirmed the High Court judgment since the NDLEA has no power under the Constitution or under any law to keep a person in detention without bringing him to court within the period provided for in section 35 of the Constitution.

He argued that the fact that the respondent claimed to be investigating the allegation of commission of crime against the Appellant is not a warrant for breaching the unambiguous provision of section 35 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as amended, saying that the evidence that another person who was arrested three days after the arrest of the Appellant excreted on the second and third day 60 wraps of drugs.

“That the Appellant did not excrete any banned substance ought to have led the Court of Appeal to conclude that the detention of the Appellant for 19 days was unreasonable.

“There was no legally admissible basis to justify the detention of the Applicant beyond the period stipulated in section 35 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as amended. The safeguard provided by law against a suspect absconding is bail and not indefinite detention without trial as suggested by the Court of Appeal,” he stated.

 NEMA and officials of the Lagos State Government clashed again at the scene of the Sunday collapsed building.

The clash comes about a week after the spokesperson, NEMA, South-West zone, Mr. Ibrahim Farinloye, was arrested during a rescue efforts at Ebute Meta by policemen attached to government’s Rapid Response Squad.

The Commissioner for Special Duties, Dr. Wale Ahmed, threatened to arrest Farinloye for granting a press interview at the scene in Ishaga.

After Oke-Osayintolu, had briefed the press, the commissioner warned state officials not to grant any press interview again until after the exercise.

However, as Farinloye was briefing newsmen, the commissioner stopped the interview and threatened to pull him out of the scene.

He said, “Will you shut up? That is how you always do; you gather journalists and you will be briefing them whereas you are not doing anything here. I asked you not to grant interview and you did not listen.

“Last week, Odumosu (RRS commander) arrested you and let you go immediately; this time around, I will make sure that you are dealt with.”

 Farinloye later lamented that Lagos government officials were hostile towards NEMA, which is a Federal Government agency

He said, “It is only in Lagos that we encounter this sort of problem. NEMA is under the Federal Government and the commissioner cannot give me orders.”
