The case between the Commissioner of Police and Defendant, Mr. Pius Happy and his wife, Mrs Alice Pius upon appearance in court was latter taken over by the Department of Public Prosecution (DPP) represented by Barr. Adekunbi commenting on reasons why the DPP decided to take over the case.
The new prosecution counsel, Barr. Adekunbi said: “the matter is of public interest hence, the need for the Ministry of Justice to take over and ensure justice for the little baby who is less than three years”.
The defence counsel who is a party to the suit however, declined interview.
The little Lucky Pius less than three years old was latter taken to his new home by officials of the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development who are in-charge of the custody of the little boy.
The matter was adjourned to 16th of January, 2018, after counsel of the parties in the suit took a new date.
