Justice Mohammed Idris of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos has ordered the Department of State Security to release the Managing Director of Capital Oil and Gas Limited, Mr Ifeanyi Ubah.
He directed the DSS to file a criminal charge against Ubah within 48
hours if it has a case against him or release him with no conditions
attached.
Ubah has been in detention for weeks over allegations that he diverted petroleum products stored in his tank farm by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
Security agencies must understand that they are not instruments of debt recovery,” Justice Idris said.
He also said the DSS lied on oath in a bid to justify Ubah’s detention, describing it as unfortunate.
