Fatima Kabiru Ahmed, daughter of the martyr Kabiru Ahmed, who was killed by the Nigerian police on January 26, filed a lawsuit against the Inspector General of Police, Muhammad Adamu, who ordered the shooting of peaceful protesters and caused the death of her father.
The attorney for the case submitted the request to the Federal Supreme Court in Abuja, pending a decision, and accordingly, the court ordered the defendant (Adamu) to submit an official apology only.
“The killing of my father at the hands of the police amounts to a flagrant violation of human rights stipulated in the country’s constitution for the year (1999),” Fatima said in a statement carried by Omni Block Agency and followed by Shia Waves.
Fatima, the first daughter of Kabiru, according to the original request, requested the court’s admission that the killing of her father was unlawful and took place outside the judiciary and without trial, as he was tortured inside the prison after being shot in official protests in front of the National Human Rights Committee in Abuja.
The daughter of the martyr explained that “protesters accompanying her father wanted to take him to the hospital because he was bleeding, but the police frightened them with gunshots and took her father away,” adding that “her dead father was found later in the Wes area hospital.”
