Nigeria: Harry Marshal - Suspects Allege Torture:
Four persons currently facing trial before an Abuja High Court in Maitama over the assassination of former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain Dr Harry Marshal have alleged that their confessional statements were extracted by the police through torture.
In their separate oral evidence yesterday during examination by defence lawyer Tony Agbonlahor, accused persons Musa Babatunde, Sunday Ofuoku, Stephen Imodumeh and Friday Amaize recounted the gory details of their experience in the hands of the police under the leadership of Tafa Balogun in a desperate bid to obtain damning evidence linking them with the murder of the Rivers-born politician.
