Prof. Zainab Abiola, the wife of the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, the late Chief MKO Abiola, has dragged the Nigeria Police Force, Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali to a Federal High Court in Abuja for alleged defamation
Abiola in the suit with reference No FHA/ABJ/CS/2370/202 filed by her lawyer, Tawo Tawo , is challenging the police for violating her fundamental human rights to life, and dignity of the human person.
Abiola said that as a Chief Legal Consultant of the force, Alkali’s son had sometime in 2021 requested for a bribe of N20 million from her under the guise of greasing the palms of top officers to expand her office. “He conspired with my ex-orderly to lie that I inflicted bodily harm on her. We have CCTV camera’s around that will reveal what happened when the proceedings commenced,” she said.
The plaintiff further averred that the incident caused her so much damage, trauma, ill-health and reduced her standing and recognition in the global society bearing in mind the fact that they had attained an international reputation.
