The 1st plaintiff alleged that while they stood outside the office she saw the AEPB officials pulling the women out of the buses with guns pointed at them. They kept beating them and forced them to write their names. One of the abducted women who refuse to comply with them was jointly beaten by about 6 officials of the AEPB. The 1st Plaintiff took pictures of the incident to document it and every effort made by her to release some of the abducted women that night proved abortive. The 1st Plaintiff avers that they went to Maitama Police station to file a complaint on the abduction. However, the police officer they met on duty by the name Mr. Ijeoma U. Ijeoma refused to book their complaint and went further to say that the AEPB officials were doing their job and that if it were up to him he would have arrested all the women who accompanied the 1st Plaintiff because according to him they looked like prostitutes. After further insults from him he instructed them to leave and up till date he is yet to get back at them. The 1st Plaintiff further states that some of the abducted girls were released the next day. The detained women were not given food nor water and some of them sustained injuries while another complained that her phone was stolen. The 1 st plaintiff further avers that she invited the media who arrived at the scene at about 10 am but access was not given to the media crew into the premises of the AEPB.
