DECISION<o:p></o:p>

</div>INTRODUCTION<o:p></o:p>In
his complaint of 8th July 1996 received on 18th July 1996, the Complainant
alleged that he picked a business transaction with a Nigerian called Luise
Adibe who became a cheat to him by defrauding him. On one occasion, he had a
transaction with him during which he had wanted to deduct all that he has lost
to Adibe and give him the balance of which Adibe rather became infuriated.<o:p></o:p>Adibe
later reported the matter to the James Town Police Station and used one
Inspector Amadu B. Driwu to harass him.<o:p></o:p>The
Complainant therefore sought the assistance of the Commission to stop the James
Town Police especially Inspector Amadu Driwu from harassing him and investigate
into Adibe's business in Ghana.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>OBSERVATION<o:p></o:p>Two
reminders for comments have been sent to the Respondent for which no response
have been received. The Complainant has also failed to follow up since lodging
the complaint with the Commission.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>DECISION<o:p></o:p>

The Commission has ceased further
investigations for the reasons that the complaint is purely a private "business
transaction". The Complainant should rather take up a civil action and
seek other reliefs from the court against the Police.<o:p></o:p></main>
