‘NSCDC officials pushed me from a storey building’

A legal practitioner, Mr Olalekan Adedeko, is battling for survival in the hospital over injuries he allegedly sustained during a scuffle between him and men of the National Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC). 

Adedeko accused NSCDC of injuring him while trying to arrest him for not producing client he stood surety for at the office of the corps. The lawyer broke his arms and legs during the incident, which occurred at Ortita Obele area of Akure, Ondo State at the weekend.
Adedeko, who was rushed to the State Specialist Hospital, Akure, was later referred to the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi, Lagos. But the state NSCDC Public Relations Officer (PRO), Mr Kayode Balogun, denied that men of the corps inflicted in-juries on Adedeko.
Balogun said the lawyer got injured while trying to escape from the law enforcement agents who wanted to arrest him. However, Adedeko told journalists on the phone yesterday that there was a dispute between his client, ODOPOS Property Ownership Scheme and Mr Ralph Alabi, over a contractual agreement which could not be met because of issues beyond his client’s control.
