the precincts of the Lagos High Court, Igbosere where he was to be
arraigned before Justice Aishat Opesanwo on a 4-count charge bordering on
obtaining $ 92,000(Ninety-Two Thousand United States Dollar) under false
pretense. The arraignment was deferred to March 27, 2014 as the court did not
sit.

had previously been arraigned in two separate courts in Lagos on fraud related
charges. He was docked 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 pleaded not guilty to the charges and was
granted bail. His inability to meet the bail conditions consigned him to prison
custody till Thursday, February 20.
In the second court, he was 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. They were granted bail but could not meet the bail terms.
Nwobodo was brought to court on Thursday from Ikoyi Prison, Lagos. He was snatched by the gunmen from the Prison Warders who brought him to court.
