Khomeini Bukhari, of Woolmead Avenue, was visiting Millennium Park in Abuja, Nigeria, on October 29, 2011, when he alleges police officers approached him threatening him and telling him the park was closed.
Mr Bukhari, who was visiting the country to plan his wedding, claims that the officers stole £800 cash and his watch which had an estimated value of £4,790.
He said: “I pleaded with them and they were threatening to beat me and strip me naked and kidnap me,”
Mr Bukhari, who had been visiting Nigeria since 2009, has battled for justice since the attack and has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
In response to the lack of action on the part of the Nigerian authorities, the British High Commission in Nigeria lodged a formal complaint to the Minister of Foreign Affairs over the issue.
