Prince Ahmed Oseni of Iba in Iba Local Council Development Area of Lagos State, has alleged that a member of the state House of Assembly has threatened his life.
In a petition to the state Commissioner of Police through his lawyer, Adetunji Orisalade, Oseni alleged that on 13 October, 2010, he visited his friend, Abdurhaman Saka, a worker at the Environmental Department of Iba LCDA, at his Kemberi, Okokomaiko residence.
The petition added that the lawmaker and of some of his allies arrived the area in a car and when they alighted, accused Prince Oseni of not paying homage to them as members of the House of Assembly.
But when Oseni replied that he did not know them as he was not a politician, he was assaulted by the lawmaker and his group, during which his clothes were torn.
The petition also alleged that sympathetic residents of the area reported the matter at the police station, but the matter, according to him, was not handled to his satisfaction.
Orisalade claimed that Oseni’s life was further threatened because after the incident was reported to the police, the lawmaker and his group still boasted to deal with his client through their positions.
Oseni’s counsel therefore urged the Commissioner of Police to use his good offices to protect his client’s life and ensure that justice was done in the matter.
Copies of the petition were sent to the Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Iba LCDA Chairman, Area Commander, Area ‘E’ Police Command, FESTAC Town and the Chairman, Lagos State Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).
