The directive also applies to the Nigeria Police Force and the Police Service Commission, who are co-defendants in the case.
The suit was brought before the court by Chief Darius Obiene, the proprietor of Euphemie Motel, a prominent hospitality establishment located in Opu-Nembe, Nembe Bassambiri, in the Nembe Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
According to Saharareporters, the court warned that if the IGP, the Nigeria Police, and the Police Service Commission fail to appear — either in person or through a legal representative — judgment may be entered against them in their absence.
Background of the Dispute
Chief Obiene filed the suit after alleging that the police failed to settle lodging debts incurred by members of the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit.
The SWAT team, reportedly led by one CSP Silas Adebayo, had allegedly occupied Euphemie Motel from August 12, 2023, up to October 3, 2024, using it as an operational base during a sting operation in Opu-Nembe ahead of the Bayelsa State governorship elections.
Reports claim that the deployment of the SWAT team was at the request of Chief Timipre Sylva, a former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate for the election.BREAKING NEWS: V!Deo Trending Now!
