A popular lawyer and human rights activist, Professor Zainab Duke Abiola, has entered ‘okro soup’ for allegedly assaulting a police orderly.
Consequently, Chief Magistrate Court, Abuja has remanded Abiola in the Suleja Correctional Center till October 5 for a hearing of the case filed against her by the FCT police command.
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, September 20, 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.
Though police force profiles her Mbaise-born activist, she is said to be Kalabari-born woman but married to the late M.K.O Abiola.
Ms Abiola was arrested by the police on September 20 for allegedly ordering her other domestic staff to assault her female orderly, Inspector Teju Moses.
She was arraigned before the court this morning on charges relating to Criminal conspiracy, causing hurt without provocation, an attempt to commit culpable homicide and Intentional insult to cause a breach of trust.
