An Abuja High Court has issued a garnishee order attaching the money belonging to the Nigeria police in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for the purpose of settlement of judgment debt incurred by the police in the judgment against them.
The garnishee order is directing the police to pay the incorporated trustees of Peace Corps of Nigeria and its National Commandant, Ambassador, Dickson Akoh a sum of N11,270,000 from its account with number 0020054161043 maintained at the CBN.
The N11.2m was awarded in favor of the judgment creditors by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Abuja judgement delivered against the police on March 26,2014.
Although, the judgment was delivered in 2014, the National Commandant of the Peace Corps, Ambassador, Dickson Akoh was said to have prevailed on lawyers not to enforce the judgment in the interest of cordial relationship between his organization, police and other arms of security agencies.
However, the board of PCN was said to have resolved to enforce all the existing judgments against police, in view of the continued antagonism, harassment and intimidation of officers and men of the Corps.
