After 9 Years, Police File John Anozie's Disappearance Case Sent to AGF Following Court Order
After nine years of waiting, the Nigeria Police Force has forwarded the case file on businessman John Anozie's 2017 disappearance to Attorney General Lateef Fagbemi, complying with a September 2025 Federal High Court order. The file contains investigation reports, witness statements, and legal advice implicating SARS officers Anthony Obiozor, Uzochukwu Emeana and others in his alleged abduction from Lagos.
This development matters because it tests Nigeria's commitment to ending police impunity - a core demand of the #EndSARS movement. Civil society groups like RULAAC and Abuja Left warn that forwarding the file is just 'one part' of the judgment, urging the AGF to prosecute the officers, release the file to Anozie's wife Nnenna, and pay the N2 million damages awarded for violating her right to information.
Will the AGF now prosecute the named SARS officers as civil society demands, or will this become another case where justice is delayed until it's denied? The case tests whether Nigeria will finally enforce court orders against security forces.
