    The owner of the truck should take the case up to the law court not fearing that his party is in power.

  • SARPONG 9 years ago

    What a banana republic we have as a country. Why should the Police wait till Ademola Coker decides it's time to release the car to the owner?

    In any civilized and democratic country, the Police would have moved in and retr ...

    If there was a mutual agreement between the two to park his car at Ade Cokers house, the police has no right to interfere. Except Ade was bullying the driver out of power. From what I read it was a mutual agreement. Stop play ...

  • Kofi 9 years ago

    Remember that Ade Coker is a high profile politician and many people look at him, as a role model. So he cannot do what you and I can do and go scot free. He should have protected the law.
