Justice should be served.

A suit seeking fresh investigations into the murder of a late governorship aspirant in Lagos state, Funsho Williams, was reopened before a Federal High Court in Lagos.

The applicant, Bashir Junaid, approached the court again after the same suit had been struck out on April 29, 2015 by Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia.

Ofili-Ajumogobia allowed the suit to be returned onto the cause list after listening to a fresh motion and argument from the plaintiff’s counsel, Tunji Adesheye, on Monday.

Junaid, a cemetery attendant, who was arrested and detained by the police during preliminary investigation into Williams’ murder, filed the suit seeking a mandamus order compelling the Inspector General of Police to conduct fresh investigation with the possibility of a fresh trial.

The applicant, who is seeking N5bn as exemplary damages, joined a former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, and 10 others as the respondents.

Williams, who was strangled to death in his Dolphin Estate residence, in Ikoyi, Lagos, on July 27, 2006, was a governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Punch reported that Junaid, in his 48-рaragraph ѕtаtеmеnt of сlаim, alleged that the police disregarded his freely made statement, which could have assisted their investigation.

The case has been adjourned till September 29, 2015.
