The lawmaker representing Ayedire\/Iwo\/Ola-Oluwa Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Mudashiru Lukman has filed a petition over the failure of the Nigeria Police to compensate one Adetola Abdulazeez for the violation of her fundamental human rights.<\/p>\n
During the 2020 coronavirus lockdown, Abdulazeez, a resident of Iwo, Iwo Local Government Area of Osun State was physically assaulted by police personnel.<\/p>\n
DAILY POST recalls that Abdulazeez instituted a lawsuit against the Nigeria Police and the Inspector-General of Police before a Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo for the enforcement of her fundamental human rights.<\/p>\n
The court in 2021 found the police to have violated her fundamental rights as guaranteed by the Nigerian constitution.<\/p>\n
The sum of N2 million as exemplary damages and N3 million as general damages were top of the reliefs the court granted her.<\/p>\n
However, the police have failed to pay the judgement sum despite several notices by the victim three years down the line.<\/p>\n
In a letter dated January 30 and addressed to Tajudeen Abbas, the Reps Speaker, the lawmaker sought and successfully secured the approval of the House to present the petition for a legislative intervention.<\/p>\n
Speaking with journalists, the lawmaker maintained that the police had not shown a correct attitude to the case since it was instituted and concluded in the court.<\/p>\n
He added that he would stop at nothing to ensure the victim got her due compensation as ordered by the court of competent jurisdiction.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was surprised that the police had failed to honour the court order. It is not right. A law enforcement agency should not play with a judicial pronouncement.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am confident that the leadership of the house will invoke its legislative powers through this petition.<\/p>\n
\u201cAssault on anybody is condemnable. However, it is more condemnable if it is done against women,\u201d the lawmaker said.<\/p>\n
The petition, he revealed, would be looked into by the House Committee on Human Rights.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe hearing date has not been fixed yet,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
