must tender a public apology to him for portraying him as a criminal in a defamatory mugshot and Press Release.
In his statement obtained by PRNigeria, the lawyer added that through his life with about 20 years in the legal practice, he had always sought for contentment, integrity, uprightness, good name and godliness. Narrating his ordeal, Mr Abaya stated that: “Sometimes in 2013, I was approached and briefed by a colleague, Mr. R.O. Salman, Esq. to take over the defence of a civil case in Suit No: KWS/112/2010 filed by Alhaji Abdullahi Muhydeen Olojuku through his lawyer, Dr. D. A. Ariyoosu, Esq. against Engr. Tunji Adedoyin challenging him for the unlawful occupation of his land. The case was before Hon. Justice Haleemat Saleeman of High Court of Kwara State.
Mr Abaya, further stated that last Friday, which was August 30, the officers and operatives of EFCC involved in dehumanizing him called to apologize for disparaging his personality, but he, however, insisted that they must apologise publicly. Mr Abaya was arrested along with two other lawyers, Salman Rafiu and Saka Hammed, for alleged illegal acquisition and sale of a property belonging to Mr Adetunji Adedoyin, valued at about N20 million .
