per Bulkachuwa JCA in Attorney General Anambra State v. Chief Chris Uba (2005) 15 NWLR (Pt. 947) 44

"For a person, therefore to go to court to be shielded against criminal investigation and

prosecution is an interference with powers given by the Constitution to law officers in the control of

criminal investigation.

The plaintiff has no legally recognizable right to which the court can come to his aid. His claim is not one the court can take cognizance of for it has disclosed no cause of action.

The plaintiff cannot expect a judicial fiat preventing a law officer in the exercise of his constitutional

power." 

It is indeed trite that no court has the power to stop the Police from investigating a crime and

whether to or how it is done is a matter within the discretion of the Police. See Fawehinmi v I.G.P.
