A family in Enugu has been demanding the release of their son, who was arrested and detained by the police since 2018, despite a court order for his release. This situation is part of a broader pattern in Enugu, where there have been reports of police defying both court and higher police authorities’ orders. These cases often involve disputes over land and allegations of misconduct by some officers who have stayed in their posts for extended periods, leading to a perception of impunity.
The family’s ongoing efforts to secure their son’s release have been hampered by the refusal of the police to comply with legal orders, a problem not unique to this case but seen in other instances of alleged abuse of power by local authorities in Enugu.
