Gwazarzah accused Adeniyi of giving the cloths to his apprentice to sew and damaged them in the process. Consequently the former allegedly slapped the latter when he went to deliver the job and later detained him in police custody.
Subsequently the cop sued his victim and got him arraigned at Court 8, Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, in a case with suit number MI/881AdeC/2020.
“The DPO, after slapping me, still collected all the 12 materials without paying the N60,000 agreed on.
“On Saturday, November 1, the DPO told me to come for the money only for him to detain me,” the paper quoted Adeniyi as saying.
