According to Politics Nigeria, the corper, a 2016 Batch B member of the National youth service corps, was arrested and arraigned for embezzlement after operators of the Ponzi schemes failed to return the money, which belonged to the company where he was doing his service.
His lawyer colleague, Augustine Ukpo made the revelation after the suspect missed the last Community Development Service (CDS).
The lawyer,Ukpo said:
“I was in court representing our Corper member colleague who was arrested and arraigned today before the Agbomalu Magistrate Court involved in N3.5 million embezzlement from his PPA (Place of Primary Assignment).
I earlier posted you guys that one (of) our Corper colleague(s) was arrested and arraigned yesterday. He is now in Kirikiri Medium Prison pending the perfection of his bail conditions. While interviewing the corper member, I noticed bruises all over his body evidence that he was beaten.
He was kept in police custody for more than 24 hours. These got me furious as a lawyer. Even though the corper agreed that he used the money for MMM and Twinkas, his fundamental right should not be compromised. In this vein, I shall be filing a fundamental right action against the employer of the corper.”
