  • Traders vs Tecno: Court orders detainee’s release

    Traders vs Tecno: Court orders detainee’s release

    The Lagos State High Court in Ikeja has ordered the release of an electronics dealer, Mr Oscar Modebe, who is being held by the police.

    Modebe, an executive of the Phone and Allied Products Dealers Association, was detained since July 12.

    He was said to have been arrested as he sought to prevent a fracas when officials of the Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) stormed the Computer Village in Ikeja and carted away phones and allied products from the traders.

    Ruling on an ex-parte application dated August 8 and filed by the applicant’s lawyer James Ogunyemi seeking to enforce Modebe’s fundamental rights, Justice Michael Savage held that his continued detention was illegal.

    The Assistant Inspector-General of Police Zone 2, Commissioner of Police Lagos State and Tecno Telecoms Limited are the defendants.

    The judge, after granting leave that the application be heard during the long vacation and urgently, held:  “It is further ordered that the 2nd defendant should release forthwith the applicant who had since 12th July 2014 been in custody of and is still in the custody of the 2nd defendant now at the office of the Commissioner of Police (SARS) Ikeja, Lagos.”

    It was learnt that the police insisted Modebe must identify and produce the “unruly street traders” who caused a breach of the peace when SON officials came to perform their duty before he is released.

    Modebe had sought a declaration that his arrest and detention without charge is unlawful and in breach of his fundamental rights to liberty, freedom of movement and his dignity as a person.

    He sought an order enforcing his fundamental rights to dignity of his person, liberty, fair haring and movement as enshrined n the constitution by directing his immediate and unconditional release by the 1st and 2nd defendants or in the alternative, an order of the court admitting him to bail.

    The traders’ association also petitioned the Inspector-General of Police and Minister of Interior over the alleged harassment, wrongful and unlawful arrests and detention of their members.

    In the petition copied to the Senate President David Mark, House of Representatives Speaker Aminu Tambuwal and the Director General, State Security Service, the association said it was concerned about Modebe’s fate in police detention for over two months without charge at Tecno’s alleged instance.

    Tecno, it was learnt, alleged that the traders are selling sub-standard products bearing its name, hence its complaint to the police and SON.

    The traders, however, denied the allegation.
