He described the Police action as
illegal,unconstitutional,undemocratic,ungodly,evil,anathema, and crime against God andbhumanity,saying that any human persecution could never last in any clime.

OWEPA boss maintained that the Court of Appeal sitting in Akure
had laid every matter on the issue to final rest as stipulated in the law of the land, promising to consult the group’s Legal Counsel on how to  seek redress for the affected
victims, including the nine months old baby, of the illegal arrest.

” Law and moral are distinct concepts which affected society differently,but it is law that is guiding the conduct of every action of citizen  in a civilized society like ours and nobody could interchange law with moral in this context,so,in the face of Constitutional Law of Nigeria society, Senator Ademola Adeleke is highly qualified to contest for any elective office in Nigeria.” , Sulaiman submitted.
