The musician
was arrested after he was acquitted and discharged of a criminal charge. A
Reggae musician, Victor Essiet popularly known as ‘Mandator’, was yesterday
allegedly arrested by some armed policemen, after leaving the premises of an
Ikeja Magistrate Court, Lagos.
Mandator’s lawyer,
Charles Lambo, while speaking to journalists said the musician was arrested
while going home after he had attended a court proceeding. Lambo said:
“Mandator was in the Magistrate Court One, early this morning, to attend a
criminal matter between him and one complainant, Morris Etim, who had filed a
suit in which Mandator was accused of obtaining some amount of money by false
pretence.
“But at the
proceedings this morning, the court discharged and acquitted him of the
allegation. It was while on his way home that some men suspected to be
Policemen, fully armed ordered his car to stop and he was arrested and up till
now, no one know where he has been taken to”.
The lawyer
also said: “In spite of the fact that the case between his client (Mandator)
and Etim is still in court, there have been series of threats from him that he
will ensure that he use every available force to destabilise and run down
Mandator”.
