Michael Agha, a dismissed police officer, on Tuesday asked the federal high court, Makurdi, to commit the inspector-general (IG) of police to prison for disobeying a court order.

Agha, who claimed to have been wrongfully dismissed from the force, asked the IG to explain why an order of committal to prison should not be made against him.

The committal was because of I-G’s refusal to pay him all his entitlements as ordered by court of appeal, Jos division on May 12, 1997.

Joined in the suit were the attorney-general of the federation and the Benue commissioner of police.

Agha in his affidavit filed before the federal high court, Makurdi, deposed that he enlisted in the Nigerian police force in 1977, and was unlawfully dismissed from the force in 1988, while serving at 13PMF, Makurdi, Benue.

He explained that he was dismissed because he wore a mobile police fez cap to the police headquarters, Makurdi on a day it was drizzling.

Agha said an assistant commissioner of police (ASP) asked why he wore a face cap when the then commissioner of police, had banned it a few days earlier.

Agha said he explained that he did not know about the ban, but that the ASP took up the issue with him which eventually led to his dismissal.

Aggrieved by the treatment, he headed to a Makurdi high court to contest the disciplinary action, but the case was thrown out.

Agha appealed the judgment at the court of appeal, Jos, and the it was allowed.

He said on May 12, 1997, the appellate court set aside the judgment of the Benue high court and ordered that he be reinstated forthwith and paid all his entitlements.

The applicant said all efforts to get the police to comply with the judgment had failed.

He therefore, headed to the federal high court, Makurdi, and filed a contempt proceeding against the IG and two others.

When the case was called for hearing, Tarfa Achinge, counsel to the applicant, informed the court that the case was for the hearing of form 49 of the judgment enforcement rules.

However, Achinge said he got information from Gabriel Ebonyi, counsel to the 1st and 2nd respondents, that there was a window of opportunity for an out-of- court settlement, and asked for adjournment.

Ebonyi, who did not oppose the application, promised the court that he would make further effort to get his superiors to comply with the judgment of the court of appeal without necessarily hearing the form 49.

Form 49 of the judgment enforcement rules filed before the court required the respondents to show cause why an order of committal to prison should not be made against them.

In his ruling, Hassan Dikko, the judge, told counsel to the 1st and 2nd respondents to urge the police authorities to pity the “poor applicant” and comply with the order of the court of appeal.

Dikko adjourned the matter till April 5, 2017 for report of settlement.

But where is lalasticlala now

"He explained that he was dismissed because he wore a mobile police fez cap to the police headquarters, Makurdi on a day it was drizzling"

Click like if you think he has a case.
Click share if you think he should reapply.

20naira collection and other bribes must have made him to forget the police order. Hence, his dismissal.

Here in Nigeria?

We are yet to get to that stage

We have a long way to go

I Can See

Since 1988....

E be like sey dat dismissed officer enta naija newly

So the NPF is owing him salary from 1988 to 1997(9 years), if we calculate it to this present day "29 years", lets us assume its an average salary of "50k" per month(plus and minus inflation, salary increase et-al) that is "17,400,000(seventeen million, four hundred thousand)

Two things are involved, its either they "pay" him or "slay" him and am not referring to the instagram "slay"

sarrki:

Ok. It is noted.

That dismissal get as e be ..the police should just convert that dismissal to retirement and pay him his entitlement from 1988 to date because his dismissal look too weighty for the crime and besides he has a judgement in his favour

The Police Force should pay what is due to him and let him.move on, 1988 no be today!

na wa for nigeria

Useless people. Nigerian police can't even obey a simple court order. Meanwhile, I thought our judiciary was independent? If police, law enforcement agency can't obey court order, they're not fit to prosecute others

hmmmmmmmm

so far it's Nigerian police


i don't feel pity for either party


bunch of corrupt trigger happy chappies

NPF- A disgrace to modern policing trends! They should pay him immediately.
