Lekki robbery suspect sues police over detention. Ebi Tosan, the 20-years old suspected member of the four suspects arrested and paraded by the police over the march 12, 2015 robbery of the lekki branch of First City Monument Bank, has dragged the police to court over what he termed "detention without bail." To this end, he was seeking damages in sum of N1m, claiming that it was unlawful for the police to continue to keep him in detention without admitting him to bail. The twenty year old, arrested on April 5, 2015, was paraded by the Police along with three others Duke Odogbo, 38; Lawrence kingsley, 31; and Ekelemo kuete, 30. He is seeking a court order directing the police to immediately release him on bail. In a fundamental rights suit he filed through his lawyer, Chief S.W. Baidi, argued that his client's continued detention without bail was an "infringement and curtailment of the applicant's constitutional right to personal liberty, freedom of movement and presumption of innocence.
