The Cameroonian national was said to have been detained for close to two years without bail.

He was alleged to have been in possession of ammunition illegally found in his house.

At today’s proceedings, the detainee was not produced in court by the IGP inspite of a subsisting court order.

His counsel, Danshita Shittu complained bitterly to the court that the order given to produce Eyong was not respected and obeyed by the Police Chief.

However, in a counter argument, counsel to the IGP, Assistant Superintendent of Police, Joseph Udo informed the court that the detained Cameroon national was not brought to court due to the late arrival of the court order.

Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia of the Federal High Court Abuja, however, fixed tomorrow for hearing in the matter for the Cameroonian citizen to be produced in court.
