Just this morning, I had a telephone conversation with Anthony Okolie on the incidence. I'm able to gather that the Sim Card which led to his arrest was once used by Hanan Buhari; Nigeria's President's daughter, over 2 years ago.
The sim card became redundant and was recycled to the market for sale. However, Mr. Okolie lawfully bought the sim card after years of redundancy unknown to him who the previous owner was.
Mr Okolie posseses the receipt for the purchase of the sim card and all other documents pertaining to the sim card.
In arresting him, the SSS monitored his telephone conversation and initially arrested an elderly person who has a relationship with him until they later found Mr. Okolie himself.
To start with, all the laws are settled that arrest by proxy is forbidden and unconstitutional in Nigeria. Also, the arrest of the victim over a property which he lawfully obtained is outrageously illegal just as the long detention without trial amounts to unlawful detention.
Section 35 of the 1999 offers a legal redress for anybody who suffers from illegal arrest and detention.
In line with my discussion with Mr. Anthony Okolie, we shall proceed to court to file a law suit against the SSS and Ms. Hanan Buhari, demanding compensation for the breach of the victim's fundamental human rights. The law suit will be filed shortly.
