The order was pursuant to a suit filed by Obiechina, praying the court to order his release from police detention.
His lawyer, Olukoya Ogungbeje, said Obiechina had been detained by the police since June 2 in connection with the kidnapping case of his brother-in-law, Evans.
The suit, marked FHC/L/CS/1050/20177, has Obiechina and his wife, Nzube, who is Evans’ sister, as plaintiffs.
They sued the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State; the Nigeria Police Force; and the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Lagos State Police Command.
Ogungbeje had on Friday appeared before Justice Idris with an ex parte application, praying the court to order the police to free Obiechina.
But rather than granting the ex parte application, Justice Idris directed the lawyer to put the police on notice, with an order that the police must produce Obiechina before him on October 12 to show cause why the order for his immediate release should not be made.
