Princewill Arinze Nwobodo (alias Aboki J. Brown)
According to a statement by the commission, Mr. Princewill was abducted by four gunmen from the prison warders within the court in Igbosere where he was billed for an arraignment before Justice Aishat Opesanwo on a 4-count charge bordering on obtaining $ 92 000 under false pretence.
The suspect had appeared last year on October 25, 2013 before Justice Saliu Seidu of the Federal High Court, Lagos on a 15- count charge bordering on forgery and obtaining under false pretence. He was also arraigned on November 20, 2013 before Justice Aishat Opesanwo alongside Katchy Okoye and Matthew Usong on a 12-count charge that borders on conspiracy and obtaining money under false pretence.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges and was granted bail but he couldn’t meet bail conditions. He was therefore confined in prison custody till Thursday when he was abducted from prison warders who brought him to court from Ikoyi prison, Lagos.
The arraignment was deferred to March 27, 2014 as the court did not sit.
