Dr. Fabian Ihekweme, a former Commissioner in Governor Hope Uzodimma’s administration, has instituted legal action against the Nigerian Police Force and the Imo State Commissioner of Police at the Federal High Court in Abuja, demanding N5 million in damages.

Ihekweme is also seeking a court order mandating his immediate release or granting him bail in line with Sec.
