Small- Jpron was arraigned at an Ebute- Meta Magistrate’s Court. He disappeared from the public radar afterwards, but was re - arrested on Monday.

The CP said the policemen , whose names were not disclosed , were under investigation, adding that other persons involved in the suspect ’ s release would be brought to book .
He said, “ The suspect broke out of prison shortly after he was remanded . The circumstances surrounding his escape are being investigated. We are also investigating the complicity of two of our officials in ensuring his escape from the prison .

“ We will not leave any stone unturned . Any judicial official found to be involved will also be brought to book .”

In a chat with PUNCH Metro, Small - Japron , who was said to be the leader of the Eiye Confraternity, stated that he was in the court for trial on the day he was re - arrested.
He explained that the police had brought him and his “ second - in - command , ” identified simply as Abbey, for arraignment in September 2016, when the latter disappeared.

The suspect claimed that he had denounced his membership of the cult, adding that his “ former group ” instigated his arrest.
He said, “ When I was in prison , a brother in my area called Asuma , told me not to worry that he would ensure my release. He is an omoonile (land grabber). He said he would see one justice over my case . I didn ’t fight anybody again . I had gone to the court on Monday when policemen arrested me.
“ Eiye cult members are fighting me because I told them I was no longer interested in the group . They set me up that day .

“ The policemen asked me where Abbey was and I said I didn ’t know. They told me that the prosecutor and the IPO (Investigating Police Officer) had been detained and that they wanted to know how he escaped on the first day we were brought to court. I have never jumped bail since I was arraigned in court.”
