They also claimed that despite court orders directing the police to either charge or release Anozie, and another order directing the release of his body after the police reportedly claimed he died in custody, the police failed to comply.
The Nigeria Police Force has informed the Federal High Court in Abuja that it has forwarded the investigation report and legal advice on the disappearance of Mr. John Chukwuemeka Anozie, who was allegedly abducted by operatives of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in 2017, to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.
The development was disclosed during proceedings in the contempt case filed against the Inspector-General of Police in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/865/2025 between Engr. Nnenna Anozie and the Inspector-General of Police.
According to a press statement issued by the applicant’s counsel, Vincent Adodo, the matter came up on Friday, July 24, 2026, before Justice Binta F.M. Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
Adodo said the court drew his attention to a Notice of Compliance filed by counsel to the Inspector-General of Police, Stanley Nwodo, stating that the case file containing the legal advice and investigation report had been forwarded to the Attorney General of the Federation in compliance with part of the court’s judgment delivered on September 24, 2025.
