Abiola’s Sons Detained Over Robbery Incident At Father’s Lagos Home Regain Freedom
Two sons of the late winner of the June 12, 1993 election, Moshood Abiola, have been freed after being detained by the police for 13 days, PREMIUM TIMES confirmed.
Kassim and Aliyu were arrested and detained over a robbery incident that took place at their father’s Lagos residence on September 2.
The two were detained at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad in Ikeja as against the position of the law that forbids detention of suspects for more than 48 hours.
While they claimed their arrest was sequel to a complaint that was lodged by their step-mum, Adebisi Abiola, after the robbery incident, the step-mum said they were arrested owing to their unruly acts to the police officers during interrogation.
Also, the duo approached a Lagos State High Court in Ikeja for the enforcement of their fundamental rights and demanded N100 million as compensation.
This, however, generated furore amongst members of the extended family and their legal representatives.
