The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, is obviously Angry with a female human rights activist, Professor Zainab Duke Abiola and has ordered her arrest and prosecution for attacking and inflicting grievous injuries on her security orderly, a female Police Officer, Inspector Teju Moses.
A statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said that the domestic staff, the house maid, one Rebecca Enechido and a male suspect currently at large, also joined in the grievous assault on the female police officer.
The statement said that Professor Zainab Duke, a legal practitioner from Mbaise, grievously assaulted her orderly in company of some accomplices on September 20 at her residence in Garki, Abuja, due to the refusal of the orderly to breach professional ethics by carrying out menial and domestic chores at her house.
Angered by the savagely act of the human rights activist and her gang, the Inspector General directed the express prosecution of the arrested suspects who are currently in Police custody, “as the preliminary investigation shows overwhelming evidence of culpability on the part of the Professor and her domestic staff. “The IGP has equally tasked the investigative team to ensure that the fleeing suspect is arrested and made to face the wrath of the law.”
The statement recalled that Professor Zainab, “who name-drops the IGP, his family members, and other officers in the top hierarchy of the Force” has no acquaintance with the Police in any form as erroneously peddled on social media.
“The Inspector-General of Police who similarly ordered the withdrawal of all Police personnel attached to the Professor, expressed consternation at the fact that an individual who claims to be an advocate for Human Rights could stoop so low to violate the rights of another individual, a police officer tasked with ensuring her protection.”
