Nigeria, Nov. 4 -- A lawyer, Nurudeen Abdulsalam, has accused the Kwara State Police Command of attempting to intimidate him after he publicly accused Lieutenant-Colonel Nurudeen Yusuf, the aide-de-camp to President Bola Tinubu and the Elemona of Ilemona, of abuse of power and promoting land grabbing by his community.

The lawyer is from Offa, a neighbouring community to Ilemona in Kwara State. The two communities, respectively the headquarters of Offa and Oyun LGAs, have a history of land disputes.

Mr Abdulsalam, who chairs the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Gwagwalada Branch, Abuja, said about 10 police officers were deployed from Kwara State to Abuja to arrest him following his complaint against the traditional ruler.
