Armed policemen, on Wednesday, arrested Reggae musician, Victor  Easier,  popularly known as ‘Mandator,’ after leaving the premises of Ikeja Magistrate Court, Lagos.  


It was gathered that the musician was arrested after he was acquitted and discharged of a criminal charge. 

Speaking to this medium on the Mandator's arrest, his lawyer, Charles Lambo, said the musician was arrested while going home after he had attended a proceeding in Court.

Lambo said: “Mandator was in the Magistrate Court One, early this morning, to attend a criminal matter between him and one complainant, Morris Etim, who had filed a suit in which Mandator was accused of obtaining some amount of money by false pretence.

“But at the proceedings this morning, the court has discharged and acquitted him of the allegation. It was while on his way home that some men suspected to be Policemen, fully armed and ordered his car to stop and he was arrested and up till now, no one know where he has been taken to”.

The Counsel also said: “In spite of the fact that the case between his client (Mandator) and Etim is still in court, there have been series of threats from him that he will ensure that he use every available force to destabilize and run down Mandator”.
