Confusion in court as suspect goes missing
The suspect, who is an architect, had arrived in the courtroom to take his plea on two counts of indecent treatment of a child and sexual assault by penetration.
The judge, Justice Abiola Soladoye, then stood-down the case to enable the defence counsel get to court. Mrs Arinola Momoh-Ayokanbi, the lead state prosecutor told the court: “The defendant was in court earlier this morning, I noticed he stepped out of the courtroom immediately he left the dock. Justice Soladoye issued a bench warrant for Akinpelu’s arrest and adjourned the case until May 7 for arraignment.
