The Chief Magistrate Court of FCT Zone 6 has remanded Prof. Zainab Duke Abiola and her maid, Rebecca Enechido, at the Suleja Correctional Facility. They will remain in custody until the next hearing on October 5, 2022.

Recall that Nollywood Times reported that Prof. Abiola, an Mbaise-born activist, grievously assaulted her police orderly, Inspector Teju Moses. The act was carried out in the company of some accomplices on Tuesday, September 20, at her residence in Garki, Abuja. She was later arrested for the crime.

Abiola, a legal practitioner, and human rights activist, was accused by the Police of the attempt to commit culpable homicide and intentional insult to cause a breach of trust. The court ruled that she be remanded in the Suleja Correctional Facility while the case was adjourned to October 5th for the next hearing.

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, had earlier directed the express prosecution of the arrested suspects. They are currently in Police custody, as the preliminary investigation shows overwhelming evidence of culpability on the part of the Professor and her domestic staff.

The IGP has equally tasked the investigative team to ensure that the fleeing suspect is arrested and made to face the wrath of the law.

The IGP condemned the grievous assault of Inspector Moses.
