TAFAWA BALEWA SQUARE – A Lagos State High Court sitting in TBS is considering a suit, seeking summon of Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) in charge of Zone 2, Onikan, Bode Adeleke Adeyinka, to appear before it over review of a judgment affirming ownership of a land title belonging to Madam Efunroye Tinubu.
This follows a suit filed by Adam Akinfolabi Akindele and Adamakin Investment, who were entrusted with the management of the Estate of Madam Iyalode Efunroye Tinubu.
In the suit, the plaintiffs are praying the court to determine if the police in the course of discharging its duties can accept a petition over a court verdict which had exonerated them of any wrongdoing in the management of the estate.
The petitioner, Adamakin Investment and Works Limited, is asking the court to declare that the police lacked powers to review the findings of the court or inquire into the propriety of its decision in the guise of investigation with a view to substituting it with their own view and decision or findings.
In their originating summon, the plaintiffs are asking court to order the Police to show cause upon being served why it should not be restrained in line with the reliefs sought.
They are asking the court to compel the Police to withdraw all charges filed in various courts over the estate management.
Adamakin is further asking for N60million damages for instigating the investigation for which he was arrested and detained in connection with the management of the Estate of Madam Iyalode Efunroye.
The firm and its chief executive officer said the action of the police soiled their name and reputation as a worthy real estate practitioners, adding that it caused them pain, anguish, mental torture, emotional stress, psychological trauma and hardship.
