The suspect was arrested at his village, Nkata Ibeku, in Abia State on Friday, September 30, on the authority of a warrant issued on July 4, 2016, by a Federal High Court in Umuahia.
Justice D.E. Osiagor who presided over the case issued the warrant as Apugo failed to show up in court following his arraignment on a three count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretense brought against him by the EFCC.
