Detained Majority Leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Mr Chidi
Lloyd is undergoing a regime of torture in police custody, his counsel,
Mr. Beluolisa Nwaofor (SAN) has cried out.
“This is not only condemnable but regrettable. Rivers State Police Command under Mbu seems not to be bothered by the fact that any evidence that is obtained by force, torture, intimidation or by any form of abuse is not admissible in the court of law, and this is unfortunate.”
Chidi Llyod has since been facing a panel of police interrogators and
was flown to Port Harcourt on Friday ostensibly for the commencement of
his trial and the hearing of the suit he filed to restrain the police
from inviting and arresting him.
