Man Sues Nigerian Police Over Alleged Harassment Linked to Ex-Ondo Governorship Candidate Olusola Oke
An Abeokuta resident, Mr. Adedamola Adetayo, has filed a suit at the Federal High Court, Abeokuta, accusing the Nigeria Police Force of harassment, intimidation, and threats to his life over a defamation dispute involving former Ondo governorship aspirant Chief Olusola Oke, SAN.
Adetayo claims police officers from Life Camp Division, Abuja, repeatedly called him, threatened him, and demanded that he travel to Abuja, despite his health issues and security concerns along the route. He argues that the dispute is civil in nature and should be handled locally.
He is seeking declarations that the alleged threats violate his fundamental rights, an order restraining further harassment, and that any investigation be conducted in Abeokuta. A letter to Oke warns against criminalizing a civil matter, highlighting potential misuse of state power and urging restraint.
The Federal High Court will hear the matter, which raises questions about the limits of police powers in civil disputes and the protection of citizens’ constitutional rights.
