PRESS RELEASE

*RE: RESPONSE TO CROSS RIVER STATE POLICE COMMAND PRESS RELEASE DATED 16TH MAY 2026*
*RE: ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO ARREST AND SEARCH THE RESIDENCE OF MR. ASAM MICHAEL OKONGO A.K.A. “MC OKRIKA”*

*Issued by:* Counsel to Mr. Asam Michael Okongo MC Okrika
*Date:* 17th May 2026

We act as solicitors to Mr. Asam Michael Okongo, popularly known as “MC Okrika,” and our attention has been drawn to the Press Release issued by the Cross River State Police Command dated 16th May 2026.

While we acknowledge the Command’s statement, we find it necessary to place the following facts and legal position on record:

*1. Night Arrest and Search Violates the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Cross River State 2016*
Section 8(1) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Cross River State 2016 expressly provides that a person shall not be arrested between 6:00pm and 6:00am except for capital offences such as murder, armed robbery, r**e, or offences involving the use of fi****ms and violence, or where it is impracticable to effect the arrest during the day.
The alleged petition against our client relates to cyberstalking and cyber harassment, which are not capital offences. Therefore, the reported attempt to arrest and the search conducted at our client’s residence at about 4:45am is unlawful and contrary to the provisions of the ACJL.

*2. Procedural Irregularity in the Handling of the Petition*
If a petition was indeed lodged by Hon. Michael Etaba against our client, the proper procedure under the ACJL and the Police Act 2020 is to invite the suspect for interview during lawful hours. Our client has, for the past two weeks and specifically this week, voluntarily attended the Ikom Police Division to attend to other matters of public concern. At no point was he informed of any petition or invited in relation to the said allegations.

It is concerning that the first contact regarding the petition occurred only after our client published a viral video concerning an incident in Etung, and was followed by officers arriving at his residence at night fullly armed.

*3. Unlawful Entry and Search*
Our client’s wife was subjected to prolonged confrontation from the officers before she reluctantly granted them access at about 4:45am. The officers claimed to be in possession of a search warrant. We demand that the said warrant be produced for public scrutiny, as its ex*****on at night on a non-capital offence directly contravenes the ACJL of Cross River State.

*4. Our Position*
We condemn in the strongest terms the action of the Nigeria Police Force, Cross River State Command, in deploying officers to arrest and search the residence of our client at night based on a petition alleging cybercrime. Such conduct constitutes intimidation, violates the right to personal liberty under Section 35 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), and undermines public confidence in due process.

*5. Demand*
We demand that the Police Command immediately:
- Cease all actions intended to arrest our client outside the hours permitted by law for the alleged non-capital offence;
- Provide a copy of the alleged search warrant and petition;
- Ensure that any further investigation is conducted in strict compliance with the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Cross River State 2016 and the Nigeria Police Act 2020.

Our client remains law-abiding and is prepared to cooperate with any lawful investigation conducted during appropriate hours and in accordance with due process. However, we will not hesitate to seek constitutional and legal remedies to protect his fundamental rights if these unlawful actions persist.
