Benin City: Court Orders Immediate And Unconditional Release Of Rev. Ugolor


A High Court sitting in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria has ordered the Inspector General of Police (IGP), the Nigeria Police and the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), to release Rev. David Ugolor from detention immediately and unconditionally, pending the determination of the motion on notice.
Rev. Ugolor was detained by the police over allegations that he hired assassins to kill Olaitan Oyerinde, the Principal Secretary to Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole.  He is the Executive Director of the Africa Network for Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ), a non-governmental organization based in Benin City.
