“A Lagos High Court has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of
Ms Omobolanle Mobola Akinruntan, the first daughter of Oba Fredrick Obateru
Akinruntan, the Olugbo of Ugboland in Ondo state and the chairman of Obat Oil.
The
Igbosere, Lagos Island-based High court, presided over by
Justice L.A.M.
Folami, issued the bench warrant for the arrest of Ms Akinruntan for contempt
of court.” is how celebrity journal Encomium is reporting the latest news about
Mobola, the daughter of Oba Obateru Akinruntan.
The
report reads further
“According
to the bench warrant, she was supposed to appear before the court on Thursday,
August 31, 2017, but she refused to appear.
Again
she was supposed to appear in the same court on Wednesday, November 8, 2017,
she did not appear.
Encomium.ng gathered that the court again has adjourned the matter to Monday, December 18, 2017, for the police to produce her.
Encomium.ng gathered that the court again has adjourned the matter to Monday, December 18, 2017, for the police to produce her.
The
police, encomium.ng further gathered, have been dilly-dallying in arresting
her.
The
Maroko police station which is the closest to her Mobolaji Johnson, Lekki Phase
1 residence had given one excuse or the other why she has not been arrested.
Ms
Akinruntan and her estranged husband, Mr Ayodeji Fanawopo have been having
issues with the custody of their two children since 2010.
Mr
Fanawopo had taken her to a London court over some irreconcilable differences
in their marriage. But before the court could make a final judgement over the
marital issues, Ms Akinruntan disappeared from London to Nigeria with the two
children.
Mr
Fanawopo got a judgement from the London court that the two children must be
brought back to London.
He
came to Nigeria in 2011 to effect the London court judgement in Nigerian court
and he it got in 2012.
With
the assistance of Lagos court bailiffs, the children were waylaid one morning
on their way to school and brought to the airport for the onward trip to
London. But before they could board the London bound flight some people
suspected to be the family of Ms Akinruntan, with the assistance of some mobile
policemen forcefully took the children from their father, Mr Ayodeji Fanawopo.
Mr
Fanawopo later returned to London without the children that day. But he never
gave up in his struggle to get the custody of his children and make his
estranged wife face justice.
Since
2012, Mr Fanawopo has been in and out of court both in London and Nigeria to
get justice. But each time the case is called in the court here in Nigeria, his
estranged wife, Ms Mobola Akinruntan, was nowhere to be found.
This
is what prompted the Lagos High court, Igbosere, Lagos Island, headed by
Justice L.A.M. Folami, to issue a bench warrant for her arrest to be brought to
court for contempt.”
