A Federal High Court in Osogbo, Osun state on Monday ordered the arrest of a lawyer, Mathew Ayelagbe Laogun and his son, Ayodele Adelaja Laogun, for contempt of court.

The case brought by the Inspector General of Police against the duo was called, but none of them was in court.

The Prosecutor, O/C Legal, Zone XI Police Headquarter, James Olajide Famuyini, ASP, told the court that he has duly informed the accused about the matter.

He said he has served them the charge sheet and even sent text message to them followed by phone call.

Famuyini however, prayed the court to issue bench warrant against the duo so that police would arrest and bring them to court.

The presiding Judge, Justice M. A. Onyetenu granted the prayer and issued bench warrant against the lawyer and his son. The matter was adjourned to June 14, 2018.
