…As Prosecution Ongoing, Counter-Allegations Hold No Water……Police
By Gbemiga Olamikan
The Nigeria Police Force has stated that Prof. Zainab Duke Abiola who was alleged of complicity in the grievous assault of a female Police Officer, Inspector Teju Moses on Tuesday 20th September 2022 at her residence in Garki Abuja along with her domestic staff including the housemaid, one Rebecca Enechido and a male suspect currently at large has a case to answer with respect to the allegations.
This was disclosed by CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer, in Abuja.
Adejobi said that, FCT Police Command under which jurisdiction the matter transpired, has charged the suspects to court upon diligent investigation and the case with charge no. CR/544/22 is ongoing and the next hearing will come up on 1st February 2023 at High Court 16, Zuba, FCT Abuja.
He said that the suspects have been charged with the offences of criminal conspiracy, attempt to commit culpable homicide, voluntarily causing hurt without provocation, and assault to deter public servant from discharge of his duty amongst others. He said the recent media row by the suspect is therefore unnecessary as the matter has not been concluded in court. It is similarly pertinent to note that the spurious allegations recently made in the news hold no water.
CSP Adejobi said, Nigeria Police has confidence in the judiciary believing that the Courts will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that justice is done in the extant case.
