About 24 hours after filing a suit to stop ongoing states’ investigations of alleged brutality by some police, the force has applied to withdraw the case.
The suit marked, FHC/ABJ/CS/1492/2020, was filed on November 9, 2020 by the NPF, through its lawyer, O. M. Atoyebi (SAN) to stop various panels probing allegations of rights abuses and other acts of impunity by police officials, particularly men of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
The notice of discontinuance filed early on Friday by a lawyer to the NPF, Festus Ibude, states, “Take notice that the plaintiff herein intends to and doth hereby wholly withdraws its suit against all the defendants.”
Listed as defendants in the case include the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), the attorneys-general of the states and chairmen of the panels set up by the states.
