However, fortunately for her, the court could not sit after being informed of her arrest on Sunday evening.According to documents obtained by SaharaReporters, the suit filed by Emengo is between her, Bridget Omunukpon Emengo and Credan Chikamsi Emengo as claimants and Aare Afe Babalola and 10 others as defendants.
“‘Upon further enquiry, the policeman in mufti refused to disclose his name and they couldn’t tell me what the complaint was about or who wrote the complaint. “‘I just figured I should let you guys know this as learned friends because this is very suspicious to me. I have my suspicions, I’ll keep this house posted.’
Emengo said the “complaint was signed by Olamide Mojogbotoluwa Adekunle néé Ehifun and the allegation against me in the petition was that the averments in my witness statement on oath are in their opinion false”.
