The attitude of the police towards the illegal detention of Dr Ramon Adedoyin after a federal high court in Abuja had ruled that Adedoyin should be released for medical reasons. But surprisingly for over two weeks now of the verdict, the police has not release the Dr Adedoyin for medical attention which make his health status to be deteriorating everyday due to high blood pressure and diabetes which his nursing.
It will be recalled that adedoyin's lawyer, Mr Uriah Lawal, has describe d the detention of his client by the police as a flagrant abuse of his right and disobedience of a court order that he should be granted access to medical facilities in view of his health condition.
Adedoyin who was arrested on November 15, following the death of a lodger, Timothy Adegoke, an MBA student of Obafemi Awolowo University in Hilton Hotel, Ile-Ife.
Why are the police still detain Dr Ramon Adedoyin since the federal high court in Abuja has granted him access to medical facility of his choice pending the hearing and determination of his fundamental human rights enforcement suit on December 9. This action of the Nigeria police is uncalled for, the Nigeria Constitution stated in the 1999 Constitution that once the court has granted bail to a suspected person or the person need medical attention he or she must be released pending the hearing and determination of the court, the action meted at Dr Ramon Adedoyin action is against the Constitution and his fundamental human rights which is right to life, freedom of movement, freedom of speech, freedom of expression, etc.
We urge all Nigerians to appeal to Nigeria police to release Dr Ramon Adedoyin to access medical facility due to his failing health, Adedoyin who is suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure and needs his doctors to review his condition in view of his long incarceration by the police. Beside there has been no concrete evidence that Chief Adedoyin is in any way involved in the death of late Adegoke. We expect the police to have concluded their investigation on the matter, especially since they are now in possession of the deceased autopsy report. The logical point at this point would have been to either charge him to court or grant him bail but none of this has been done.
We will therefore appeal to the police to do the needful and release Dr Ramon Adedoyin to seek medical attention.
