James Oghorokor and Dennis Okugbaye, detained without trial, are seeking legal redress and compensation for their unlawful arrest and detention since August 19, 2024. The lawsuit, filed at the Federal High Court in Warri, calls for their immediate release and a declaration that their rights to personal liberty, privacy, and freedom of movement were infringed upon.
