Justice Abdulaziz Anka of the Federal High Court in Lagos on Tuesday failed to deliver judgment in the N300m Fundamental Rights Enforcement Suit brought by a suspected kidnapper, Chukwudumeme “Evans” Onwuamadike against the Police.

The failure follows the claim by the Police that the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, and the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) had not been party to the proceedings and the court could not go ahead with judgment without hearing from both parties.

The presiding judge, Justice Anka, then adjourned the case till September 5, 2017.

The Federal High Court in Lagos had earlier fixed August 29 to deliver judgment.

This was after it dismissed all the objections to the hearing of the suit.

After the ruling, the court heard the application proper and fixed the judgment date.
