The convicted killer of drummer, Lee Rigby, Michael Adebolajo is reported to be suing the Prison Service for compensation after two teeth were knocked out in jail.
The 32 year old Islamic fanatic is reportedly seeking £20,000 damages following an incident with prison guards as they tried to restrain him.
According to Daily Mirro, he is said to have struggled with the officers as they led him from his cell in maximum security Belmarsh prison and claims the resulting struggle led to the loss.
In response, the Ministry of Justice said it thoroughly investigated and found that the staff had done nothing wrong.
Last night a spokesman said:
“A police investigation into this incident took place and no charges were brought against members of staff.The public will be rightly outraged at the thought of this man receiving compensation from the taxpayer and we robustly defend claims made against the Prison Service.”
If you recall, Adebolajo, and Michael Adebowale, 23, were jailed for life in 2014 for running down and hacking to death Drummer Rigby as he walked to his barracks in Woolwich, South East London.
