A Lagos lawyer, Ayoola Gam-Ikon, has asked a Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, to order a former Super Eagles captain, Nwankwo Kanu, to pay him N1billion, over “malicious prosecution” by the police.

Gam-Ikon, who is also a businessman, in his statement of claim said he was arraigned on March 5, 2013, a 19 -count charge of fraud by the police following a complaint filed by Kanu.

He, however, claimed that the charges were struck out on July 30, 2015 by a magistrate court, after a legal advice by the Federal Director of Public Prosecutions, who absolved him on the alleged offences.

Gam-Ikon averred that he was devastated by his arraignment and imprisonment at Ikoyi prison.

The lawyer said he has been seeking treatment at several hospitals since he was discharged by the court.
