Adebara ordered that a notice of summons be pasted on the Police Headquarters information board and the State Commissioner of Police office for him to appear in court on the next hearing.

However, counsel to the state government, Salman Jawando, SAN, said, ”We are ready if the parties involved show interest. The settlement will be in the interest of Kwara.”

He, however, adjourned the case until January 24, for the hearing of pending applications and interim injunction.
