Kassim and Aliyu Abiola, two children of the late MKO Abiola, self-acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, have slammed a N100 million suit against the police.
The duo sued the Lagos state commissioner of police over their arrest and detention in connection with a robbery incident at their family house.
According to information, the gunmen invaded the residence of the late businessman in Ikeja, Lagos, on September 2.
Bala Elkana, spokesman of the Lagos police command, had earlier informed us that some suspects were arrested in connection with the incident.
In the suit Mike Ozekhome, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), filed on their behalf at the state high court, Kassim and Aliyu alleged that Adebisi Abiola, their stepmother, is responsible for their arrest, having accused them of being involved in the incident.
“The applicants were tortured, totally humiliated, dehumanised and terrorised, with a crowd of people swarming the premises to witness the ugly scene in the home of MKO Abiola, a former presidential aspirant of the Social Democratic Party,” read an affidavit filed in support of the suit.
