A former member of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Ayodeji Arowele, is pursuing legal action against the Inspector General of Police and the Nigeria Police Force. Arowele is seeking N50 million in damages, alleging an unlawful arrest that occurred prior to the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary elections. The lawsuit claims the arrest was politically motivated and intended to disrupt his participation in the primaries. Details surrounding the specific reasons for the arrest remain unclear, but Arowele asserts his fundamental rights were violated. The case is now proceeding in court, with Arowele seeking redress for the alleged wrongful detention and its impact on his political ambitions. The police have not yet publicly commented on the allegations.
