The factional Chairman, of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Edozie Njoku, was arrested by the Nigerian police on April 18, 2023 at the premises of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Bwari, Abuja.

He was arrested due to complaint by the prosecution lawyer, CSP Ezekiel Rinamsomte, who reported that Njoku, prior to the commencement of the criminal case filed against him, had verbally threatened him as counsel in the matter.

CSP Ezekiel told Justice Mohammed Madugu shortly after the case was about to be adjourned.

He said the complaint had already been lodged at the Bwari Divisional Police Station.

“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 me and him.

“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 how I wronged him, And he said he was a very dangerous man, emphasising that he was the reason why the Director, Litigation of the Supreme Court, Mr Dikko, was ejected and discharged.

“That he was going to shake the Nigerian 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 asked does it mean that this man is above the law or what is the problem?”
