A 26-year-old undergra-duate, Sunday Akande, has petitioned the
Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, over alleged unlawful
detention.
In a letter through his lawyer F. E. Ojeikere, and copied the
Commissioner of Police, Anambra State, the petitioner claimed he was
arrested and detained for an offence he knew nothing about, saying he
was wrongfully arrested by the police after he voluntarily reported a
N100,000 transaction paid into his account. The
petitioner claimed that sometime in July 2016, he received a credit
alert of N100,000 on his First Bank account with a branch on Airport
Road Warri, Delta State. According to the petitioner, since he was not
expecting such money from anywhere, he felt that the money must have
been wrongfully paid into his account.
