The public may recall that the Service had, in 2022, applied for a Court Order to detain him in respect of a criminal investigation.
Though he obtained a restraining order from an FCT High Court, the Service, however arrested him in June, 2023 on the strength of suspected fresh criminal infractions, one of which forms the basis for his current prosecution.
The Service assures the public of professionalism, justice & fairness in handling this matter & indeed the discharge of its duties within the confines of the law.”
