The petition filed by Sunday, which was adjourned last week for further hearing today resumed on Friday with the appearance of Inspector Muritala.
Mr Sunday had through his petition claimed to have been defrauded of N36million by a syndicate members who he engaged to supply him electrical installations worth N36million.
The Counsel to the petitioner, Barrister Kayode Adebisi, alleged the Police of connivance to defraud his client.
He said the Police connived with the syndicate fraudsters to compromise the investigation which would have helped the petitioner to retrieve his money.
A witness to the respondent, Inspector, Muritala, while being cross- examined to give credence to the case, refuted all the allegations leveled against him and his colleagues.
The case was adjourned to next week for further hearing.
