Assault: Police arrest professor for injuring police orderly

The Nigerian police force has confirmed the arrest of a Professor who reportedly ordered the assault of her female police orderly.

The legal practitioner and human rights activist, Prof. Zainab Duke Abiola and her domestic staff comprising the house maid, one Rebecca Enechido and a male suspect currently at large, reportedly caused grievous assault of a female Police Officer, Inspector Teju Moses.

A statement released by Police Spokesperson, Adejobi Olumuyiwa revealed that the Mbaise born activist grievously assaulted her orderly in 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 Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba 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.
