The Lagos State Court of Appeal has ordered the office of the Attorney General of the state to pay N500,000 to a security guard, Sule Sanni, who was arrested in 1999 and unlawfully detained for 12 years without arraignment or prosecution.

However, in March 2, 2012, the office of the Attorney General of Lagos, after paying the N1m sum appealed the lower court judgment on the ground that the office was not involved in the arrest, remand, and detention of Sanni who was arrested and detained by the police.

Giving the lead judgment, Justice Onyekachi Otisi said the appeal partly succeeded, adding that Sanni’s remand and lack of prosecution was a violation of his human rights.

What is this?

Wat is 500,000 to this detainment nah

Only?

You sure say no be 12 months....cuz 500000 for 12 years...that's wickedness ooo

Our justice system is something else and a huge part of the problem the country faces today.

Hmmmm,Nnamdi gave this country a name

So 500,000 will give him back 12yrs of his life what rubbish

Just 500?

You detain someone for 12years and the best reward is 500,000 in this economy? God will judge a lot of people.

What....?just 500k for being their for 12years ?

Is this playing?

Na wa ooo! So it’s what? It’s about 42k every year? If he was paid salary even at 10k per month sef, he will get almost triple this at 120k/year

God forbid

N500K?

This is ridiculous. 12yrs x 356days ÷ N500,000 =N876 a day.

What nonsense

Only?

This can only happen in Nigeria. Detained 12 years and in the end given a meager 500k? This is a definition a man's wickedness to man. That judge is a devil.

Very unfair.

Na wa oo where is this country heading to?

12 year to 500k see life

Meaning his or her life is worth N41,667 per yr. What kind of judgment is that? Anyway, we are getting somewhere.

Should've been more tbh

12yrs is not 12months ooooo 500k is like sending him into the part two of imprisonment

💔 500k only

Really 😳😳😳

Is this playing?

Nooooooo
