According to the tweet shared on Wednesday 21st September 2022, by one Kenny Adewole, a Journalist, Prof Zainab Duke of area 11 allegedly beat up her Police Orderly and ordered her maids to beat her up as nothing will happen because she is a friend to the wife of Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba.
