By Mike Oboh
The Inspector General of Police, IGP, Mohammed Abubakar Adamu has been dragged to court by an Abuja based business man, Engr. Micheal Ayuba Auta over alleged plan and frustration to acquire his landed property in the Federal Capital territory.
Ayuba in his application filed by his lawyer, Barr. Emmanuel Owochio said the involvement of the IGP and his wife Aisha Adamu to forcefully take over his plot of land measuring about 200 hectares of land in Sabon Lugbe of the FCT was a miscarriage of justice
Owochio stated that Ayuba who is currently being detained despite a court judgment restraining the IGP and other agents from interfering in the investigation is an abuse of the judiciary in the country by top government officials.
According to him, trouble started when his client discovered that his property has been trespassed and made a formal report to the police in Lugbe following the death of three person in a welding gas explosion in the prospect and the case was covered up.
Following this development 38years old Ayuba wrote a petition against the trespassers, Ijeoma Emeribe and nine others to Zone 7 Police Headquarters and both parties were invited and requested that they submit their document for investigation in the AGIS FCT but because the woman do not have the tittle document, it took her over 7 weeks to go and allegedly forged few document to cover only 52 plots out of about 600 plots she was claiming .
He said the IGP’s wife Aisha Adamu invited Micheal Ayuba five time to discuss ways out.
When Ayuba saw the way the meeting was going, he asked her what was her interest in case and she opened and said she had an interest in the development of the land.
“From that moment it has been one form of intimidation or the other from the IGP and the wife using the Police at all level.
“A direct criminal complaint was made against Ijeoma, Aisha Adamu and others and a court order to Zone 7 for investigation but the IGP took offence that why should his wife name appear on court process and threatened the complainant.”
This compelled Barr. Owochio to obtain and Ex parte order restraining the IGP and any other agent pending the determination of the Chief Magistrate court 3 Zone 6.
The IGP ignored the restraining other and detained Micheal Ayuba on getting wing of a pending fundamental human right enforcement in a higher court and hurriedly arraigned him on Thursday in a court.
According to Barr. Owochio the move was a breach of the judiciary process which the #Endsars protest against Police brutality of recent.
