The Ohha Microfinance Bank Limited in Enugu and the President of the Civil Rights Realisation and Advancement Network, Olu Omotayo, have approached a Federal High Court in the state over alleged police harassment linked to petitions they wrote to the Chief Justice of Nigeria and the Enugu State Judicial Service Commission.
The applicants, alongside the bank’s Managing Director, Philip Onwukwe, filed the suit against the Nigeria Police Force, the Inspector-General of Police, the Commissioner of Police in Enugu State and four others.
The suit, marked FHC/EN/CS/131/2026, followed a police invitation over allegations bordering on defamation of character and conduct likely to cause breach of peace.
According to a statement issued on Thursday by Omotayo on behalf of CRRAN, the applicants are challenging what they described as police harassment over complaints earlier submitted to the CJN and the Enugu JSC against a magistrate and a lawyer.
