The factional chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Edozie Njoku, was detained by the Nigerian police on Monday, which caused some minor drama on the grounds of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Bwari, Abuja.
The prosecution’s attorney, CSP Ezekiel Rinamsomte, submitted a complaint after the arrest alleging that Njoku verbally intimidated him as counsel in the case before the criminal case was brought against him.
Just before the case was adjourned, he told Justice Mohammed Madugu.

He claimed that the Bwari Divisional Police Station had previously received a complaint.
“My lord, this morning when I came to the court, he (Njoku) saw me, waved his hand at me and said prosecutor how are you and we shook hands.
“I did not even recognise him because there is nothing personal between him and I.
“The next thing this man started telling me was that he was going to send calamity upon calamities upon my family; that members of my family will be dying and that he would deal with me.
“I asked him what I have done, he said he was a very dangerous man. He said he was the reason why the Director of Litigation of the Supreme Court, Mr Dikko, was removed and dismissed.

“That he was going to shake the Nigeria Police Force; that he was the reason why the daughter of (Onyechi) Ikpeazu, SAN, died; that he was going to deal with everybody in this case.
“And I said does it mean that this man is above the law or what is the problem,” the lawyer said.
