When the case was called the second time, Akinpelu had disappeared from the court premises.
There was confusion at the Ikeja Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Court on Monday as Abiodun Akinpelu, accused of defiling his five-year-old niece, absconded before he was scheduled for arraignment.
Justice Abiola Soladoye, the presiding judge, stood down the case to enable the defence counsel get to court. Justice Soladoye issued a bench warrant for Akinpelu’s arrest and adjourned the case till May 7 for arraignment.
