He has, therefore, asked for N10.5 million as compensation and damages. The plaintiffs’ counsel, Dr Dauda Ariyo Osu, on Thursday told an Ilorin Federal High court that the IGP’s monitoring team came to RABSAN Ventures limited, along Gaa Akanbi, Ilorin on February 20, 2018 and that despite explanations that the 1,000 litres of PMS were reserved for family members and friends, the officers forced the staff to sell the product, and went on to arrest and detain the staff for two days. He also told the court that he was curious about the attitude of the IGP’S men who insisted that his staff, a stroke patient, must take them to his residence and that because he refused their directive, they beat him mercilessly in the presence of his wife before they took him away and detained him. The council also argued that the monitoring of petrol stations was not the schedule of the Nigerian police, but that of the established Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), which also has its office in Ilorin.
