Fresh fact has emerged on why Professor Zainab Duke Abiola, a legal practitioner and self-acclaimed activist, ordered her domestic staff to batter her Police Orderly, Woman Inspector Teju Moses and inflict injury on her at the FCT area of Abuja.
Force spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, said: “Zainab Duke Abiola, an activist, grievously assaulted her orderly in the company of some accomplices on Tuesday 20th September 2022 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.”
The image maker said that the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, has ordered the professor’s prosecution.
According to Adejobi, the Professor and her domestic staff comprising the housemaid, Rebecca Enechido and a male suspect currently at large, will be prosecuted following the IGP’s directives.
He further said: “The IGP has 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. It is pertinent to clarify that the suspect, Prof. 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 IGP, who similarly ordered the withdrawal of all Police personnel attached to the Professor, expressed dismay at the fact that an individual who claims to be an advocate for Human Rights could stoop so low as to violate the rights of another individual, a police officer tasked with ensuring her protection.
