A former Ondo State lawmaker, Ayodeji Arowele, files a lawsuit against Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police and the Nigeria Police Force, seeking N50 million in damages. The case relates to what Arowele describes as an unlawful arrest carried out before the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election in which he says he had an interest. According to the reports, the plaintiff argues that the arrest was improper and that it caused harm for which he is claiming compensation. The suit is directed at the top police authorities, indicating Arowele is challenging the legality of police action taken during the period leading up to the APC primaries. The articles do not provide police responses or details of any court proceedings at this stage. The matter is presented as a civil claim for damages tied to the alleged arrest, with the central issue being whether the police conduct leading up to the party primaries was lawful.
