Lagos Court discharges warrant of arrest against Saheed Mosadoluwa

A Lagos Magistrate Court, presided over by B.A. Sonuga, has quashed the police declaration of Lagos State businessman Saheed Mosadoluwa as wanted.

The police at Zone 2 Onikan had declared Mosadoluwa, also known as Ibile, wanted in a matter currently being investigated by the Inspector General of Police’s office.

Mosadoluwa publicly condemned the declaration, alleging it was an attempt by the policemen to extort him.

In response, Magistrate Sonuga ruled in favour of Mosadoluwa, discharging the warrant of arrest against him in Suit No MCL488/MISC/2024.

The suit was filed by Mosadoluwa against the Commissioner of Police, AIG Zone 2, IGP, and DPP, Lagos State.

The Magistrate ordered “An interim order quashing the purported Warrant of Arrest issued against the applicant, pending the determination of the suit.

An Interim Order discharging the Warrant of Arrest against the applicant and instigated by the respondent, acting for the nominal complainant for lacking in merit, pending the determination of the suit .

The Magistrate thereby adjourned the proceeding to the 15th day of October 2024.
