The Law Firm of Tawo E. Tawo, SAN & Co has issued a disclaimer to the widely circulated news item making rounds in both the electronic and print media, particularly, the said news captioned “Abiola’s widow drags IGP, others to court, seeks N100bn damages ” and purported that the suit was filed by them for and on behalf of one Prof Zainab Duke Abiola.
In a disclaimer signed by Tawo E. Tawo, SAN, on Monday, 23rd January 2023, he stated unequivocally that his firm did not file the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/2370/2022 or any suit at that per the subject matter.
“We also wish to state that we have commenced a full investigation to unravel those behind this embarrassing and dastardly act, the statement said.
“We will not fold our hands and watch mischief makers drag our name into a matter that we have not been briefed by anyone, the statement concluded.
Recall that Prof. Zainab Abiola has slammed the Nigeria Police Force, NPF, and the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba.
Zainab dragged the NPF and the IGP to a Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged defamation, demanding a sum of N100 billion.
