A businessman, Mr. Yinusa Ganiyu, has dragged the Inspector General of Police, Lagos State Commissioner of Police and GTRich Investment Limited before a Lagos High Court sitting at Igbosere, claiming N200 million as damages for his unlawful detention.

Other defendants in the suit include Mr. Richard Nyong (2nd defendant) and Mr. Barry Nyong (1st defendant).

Ganiyu, who is in the business of supplying sands, granite, cement and other building materials, is also claiming N18 million allegedly owed by the 1st, 2nd and 3rd defendant for the delivery of filling sand to Horizon and Ikoyi Gardens construction sites.

The dispute started after disagreement among the parties, leading to the arrest and detention of the claimant for over 90 hours at the Force CID, Alagbon Close, Ikoyi, Lagos State.
