The plaintiff, through his lawyer, Ezekiel Ugochukwu, urged the court to declare the continued stay of Adamu as IGP as illegal and unconstitutional, but the defendants prayed the court to dismiss the suit for lacking in merit. According to him, the Constitution empowers President Buhari to appoint a serving police officer as the IGP, in consultation with the police council.
