Shootout as court ends Ogun speaker, lover’s relationship

Premises of a Customary Court on Quarry Road, Abeokuta, literally became a theatre of war yesterday as policemen and men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) clashed over a case involving the Speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly, Suraj Adekunbi.

Fight broke out between the police and the NSCDC officials as the court ended the 10-year-old relationship between the speaker and his former lover, Iyabo Adedotun. In the melee, an NSCDC officer had his uniform torn into shreds by policemen bent on executing the court judgement.
It was after the court delivered judgement in a case brought against Adekunbi, by Adedotun over the custody of their child. It was learnt that Adedotun, who is also an NSCDC official, had filed a suit alleging threat to her life by the speaker and also accused the defendant of preventing her from marrying another person.
She also claimed that Adekunbi was not meeting up to his responsibilities on the daughter, Samiat, produced by their relationship.https://newtelegraphonline.com/shootout-court-ends-ogun-speaker-lovers-relationship/
