The family of late Moshood Abiola, presumed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, have dissociated themselves from the fundamental human rights suit challenging the police detention of two sons of the deceased.
Recall that two sons of the late presidential candidate, Kassim and Aliyu, were arrested and detained over a robbery incident that took place at their father’s residence on September 2.
They claimed they were unlawfully arrested and detained at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad in Ikeja, sequel to a complaint that was lodged by their step-mum, Adebisi Abiola, after the robbery incident.
On Friday, the duo approached a Lagos State High Court sitting in the Ikeja Judicial Division for the enforcement of their fundamental rights.
PREMIUM TIMES reported that they applied for the enforcement of their rights to personal liberty, dignity of person, right to private and family life, as well as right to freedom of movement, citing the Lagos State Commissioner of Police as the sole respondent in the suit filed through their lawyer and human rights activist, Mike Ozekhome.
