When a person reports a purely civil matter to the Police, such a person cannot go scot-free, as the report ought not to have been made at all since it is not within the purview of Police duties. It is a report made mala fide and he will be equally liable for the action taken by the Police irrespective of whether he actively instigated them or not, since he has no business involving the Police in a purely civil matter in the first place. Such conduct which portrays a disregard of the law and is aimed at using the coercive powers of the state to punish contracting party in a purely civil matter, ought to be mulcted in exemplary damages.
In the instant case, the conduct of Mrs. Sokari Davies, an enlightened person who reports such a matter to Police instead of going to court to seek for enforcement of the contract or damages for breach of same, amounts to wickedness and mala fide. The charges of cheating and criminal breach of trust cannot have a place against the appellant, let alone proving it to a conviction. In fact, Mrs Sokari Davies, who set unjustly, the criminal process against the appellant owes the appellant unreserved apology.

The Police whose duties are provided in Section 4 of the police Act do not include investigation and/or settlement of civil or contractual disputes or more popularly put, the collection of debts or enforcement of civil agreements and contracts.
There is no provision in the Police Act that empowers the police to enforce contracts or collect common debts. The jurisprudence is replete with practice and procedure for enforcing contractual agreements which does not involve the arrest and detention of parties.

Legal issues often unfold in ways that are not immediately obvious. A single decision: signing a contact, making report, or reacting without guidance, can create consequences that are difficult to reverse.
Before taking any step, seek proper legal advise. A lawyer helps you understand your rights, clarifies your obligations and protects you from avoidable risks.

A written agreement protects your rights and defines the expectations of all parties. Before committing to any contract, please make sure every clause is clear, fair and enforceable. And where in doubt, seek legal advice.
Remember, your signature carries legal consequences!
