THE COMMISIONER OF POLICE
Delta State Police Command,

Delta State.
SIR,
A CASE OF WANTON DESTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION OF MULTI – MILLION NAIRA COMPLEX UNDER CONSTRUCTIONBY HON. GEORGE TIMINIMI IN THE COMPANY OF HIS THUGSBASKING ON HIS POLICE COVER. A DEMAND FOR THE IMMEDIATE ARREST AND PROSECUTION OF THE HON. GEORGE TIMINIMI AND HIS COHORTS.
We have received complained from one Mrs. Ejoh Lovelyn of Uvwie Local Government area of Delta State who shall be referred to as “THE PETITIONER” on whose firm instructions and behalf we hereby write and deliver this PETITION to you.
It is imperative to inform you thus;
1.
That THE PETITIONER acquired a vast land measuring approximately1908.632 square meters at Okorikperhe area, Okpe Local Government Area of Delta State and same was properly mapped out in survey plan ZA/DT/Q1/650/2015.
2.
That upon the acquisition, THE PETITINER commenced the construction of a multi-millionaire shopping plaza intended to accommodate eighty three (83) shops, one (1) big warehouse, six (6) offices, and nineteen (19) toiletswith same already built close to decking level.
3.
That at about 7:30am on Sunday the 13th day of April, 2015 THE PETITIONER got a distress call from the site Engineer to the effect that oneHon. George Timinimi a former state commissioner and the Managing Director of Sakunu Hydra base Concept Limited, accompanied by several thugs and police officers with some others identified as Mr. ChristopherTiminimi, Mr. Welfare Timinimi and Ikior Upele had mobilized two bulldozers to the site of THE PETITIONER.
4.
That upon the arrival of THE PETITIONER, two heavy duty bulldozers were stationed to demolish THE PETIONER’S multi-millionaira complexbeing under construction at the behest of Hon. George Timinimi under the watchful eyes of his armed thugs and police officers.
5.
That upon the arrival of THE PETITIONER in company of her husband theywere dragged about on the ground, assaulted and humiliated by the police officers who insisted upon instructions from Hon. George Timinimi that they must not be allowed to go near the site amidst the operation of the bulldozermobilized to the site by Hon. George Timinimi.
6.
That Hon. George Timinimi continued with the demolition of THE PETITIONER’S structure until one of the bulldozers broke down an act that compelled Hon. George Timinimi and his cohorts to pull out of the site.
7.
That THE PETITION upon their release proceeded to the police divisional headquarter Orerokpe where the matter was reported.
8.
That the police proceeded with its investigation and towed the said broken down bulldozer to the station.
9.
That the police of Orerokpe division rather than do the needful by arresting the said Hon. George Timinimi and his lawless assailants, the police is only shying away from its responsibility by demanding the arrest of the vendors who sold the said land to THE PETITIONER when no case has been made out against the Vendors.
It is against these backdrops that we hereby demand for the arrest and prosecution of Hon. George Timinimi to serve as deterrent to others of like minds who are in possession and control of state apparatus especially the police with whom they tyrannize innocent and law abiding citizens of Nigeria not for getting the current directive withdrawing police officers from private citizens with no exception to the person of Hon. George Timinimi.
It is our demand therefore that the police at this highest echelon must meet;
1.
Withdraw the police officers attached to Hon. George Timinimi in line with the directive of no attachment of police officers to private citizens.
2.
Arrest and prosecution of Hon. George Timinimi, Christopher Timinimi, Mr. Welfare Timinimi, Ikior Upele and their thugs.
3.
Make public the police officers who gave police cover to Hon. GeorgeTiminimi by aiding him to carry out the wanton destruction of the ongoingconstruction of the multi-millionaira property of Mrs. Lovelyn Ejor.
The police must comply with these demands within seven (7) working days of service therefrom as the era of settling personal vendetta with the aid of the police is long gone.
We look forward to your immediate action geared toward curbing this personal / executive tyranny on the person and property of Mrs. Lovely Ejor without prejudice to our client’s right to civil redress.
