The three judges in a unanimous decision stated that the appeal lacked merit

He requested that the court award N200 million as general and exemplary damages against the police for the alleged violation of his rights under sections 36, 43, and 44 of the 1999 constitution.

Meanwhile, the police, through its legal counsel, Emmanuel Eze, urged the court to dismiss the suit as the trucks were proceeds of crime and were taken as exhibits. The police in a counter-affidavit deposed by Haruna Idowu, an inspector, said the suspect acquired 11 trucks with proceeds of crime but the police recovered 10. He said the trucks were listed as exhibits in the criminal charges filed against Evans at the Lagos high court.

“The applicant is the notorious and most dreaded armed robber and kidnapper known as Evans, who defied police arrest for over 10 years and who had terrorised many states of Nigeria with his various gang members. The applicant has no other source of livelihood except armed robbery and kidnapping as so many arms and ammunition were recovered from the applicant during his arrest,” Mr Idowu said.
