Police failed to bring justice to the family of Ganiyu Akinyemi for
violating his fundamental human rights to life as stipulated by the
Section 33&34 of the amended 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic
of Nigeria”. Sulaiman therefore insisted that the Inspector General of Police (IGP)
to use his good office to ensure that justice was prevailed over this
mind boggling matter as justice has no colour than justice, describing
the dastard act of Police officer (Kazeem) and his company as callous,
barbaric, ungodly, evil, heartless, abomination, aberration, anathema,
disheartening and criminality which against the natural justice.
