Two children of the late MKO Abiola, Kassim Abiola, and Aliyu Abiola, have filed a N100m fundamental rights enforcement suit against the Commissioner of Police over their arrest and detention by men o
f the Special Anti-Robbery Squad since September 2.
In an affidavit filed in support of the suit, a litigation clerk in Ozekhome’s law firm, Ubong Ikon, said Kassim and Aliyu were picked up at their father’s house, 42-46 MKO Abiola Crescent, Off Toyin Street, Ikeja, at about 11.45am on September 2 by fully armed SARS operatives, who forced their way into their apartments without any warrant of arrest.
“The applicants were forcibly dragged like common criminals, more in form of abduction than arrest and roughly driven to the Ikeja police station. Ikon added that on the following day, the police took Kassim and Aliyu back to their apartments to conduct a search, and nothing incriminating was found.
