In view of all that has been said in this judgment as inspired
by the available evidence as contained in the averments and
annextures annexed thereunder of both parties it is the
finding of this court that the applicant was not arrested and
detained in lieu of his brother who was accused of committing
some crimes, but because the applicant obstructed the police
from discharging their lawful duty of arresting his brother
against whom a formal complaint was lodged before the 2nd
respondent and thereby screened his said brother who
eventually escaped from police arrest.
I therefore humbly agreed with the respondents’ counsel that
the respondents did not in any way violated any of the
applicant’s rights. I so hold.
The applicant having failed to prove his case the case has no
merit and the applicant is not entitled to any of the reliefs
sought.
Consequently, this suit is hereby dismissed for lack of merit.
Make no order as to cost.
Application dismissed.
