This is in exercise of its police powers, a statement issued by the OSP on Thursday said.
The notice follows orders of a High Court restraining the OSP from executing a an arrest warrant against Charles Onuawonto Bissue, secretary of the erstwhile Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining.
Justice Nicholas MC Abodakpi of the Human Rights Court 2, on Thursday and following an application by lawyers of Mr Bissue made an order for Interim Injunction restraining the OSP its agents, assigns and/or persons howsoever described and claiming through it from:
- Executing an arrest warrant against Charles Bissue
- Applying for further arrest warrants pending the determination of the substantive matter against Mr. Bissue.
- Publishing notices purporting Mr. Bissue to be wanted pending the determination of the substantive matter.
The orders last for 10 days.
