Federal High Court, Abuja, on Tuesday, committed the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Usman Baba, to three-month imprisonment.
The IGP was sentenced over his alleged refusal to obey a sister court judgment reinstating a police officer, Patrick Okoli, who was compulsorily retired back to work.
Justice Bolaji Olajuwon, in a ruling on the contempt proceedings filed by Okoli’s lawyer, Arinze Egbo, also warned Baba against non-compliance with the earlier court judgment.
Justice Olajuwon warned that if the I-G failed to purge himself of the contempt, he shall be liable to another three months jail term.
