Ayoade Akinnibosun told the Ilorin High Court that the police killed Michael Adikwu (the leader of the gang who was also arrested), alleged that they made their statements under duress, a claim that was corroborated by two other suspects.
When cross-examined by the defence counsel, Mathias Emeribe, Ayoade, who is the first accused in the case, claimed Adikwu who was the mastermind of the robberies, was shot dead by one Inspector Vincent attached to the police Intelligence Response Team. They further disclosed that they were tortured and threatened by the police to make their confessional statements.
The suspects countered police prosecution witness, Inspector Hitila Hassan, who on Thursday told the court that the suspects voluntarily made their statements under his supervision. It was further gathered that when the lead prosecuting counsel, Prof Wahab Egbewole, sought to tender the statements as exhibits, Emeribe objected.
Akinnibosun , the suspect who told the court that Abba Kyari asked him to implicate Bukola Saraki in the incident said;
“Abba Kyari told me to say that the Senate President Bukola Saraki gave me the guns we used for the operations. But I declined.
“He (Abba Kyari) promised that they would reward me handsomely and set me free if I could indict Saraki. When I disagreed, they asked some policemen to take me back to the cell. During this time, my hands were tied to my legs.”
Ogunleye said “they brought the late Adikwu to implicate us and he said he had not met any of us in his life – that was why Mr Torture shot him to death.”
The case was however adjourned till March 25, 2019 for the continuation of trial within trial.📎 🤔COMMENT BELOW... CRITIC ALSO 🖋️ 📜 🗺️ 😂 ... spill TEA ☕ Easy on Shade 💣 COMMENT BELOW... CRITIC ALSO 🇳🇬 #jaiyeorie 🗺️
