However, Politics Nigeria disclosed that these two sisters were said to have escaped from Nigeria, ignoring the fact that their case with the business mogul is still in court.
They added that, trouble started for the Matharoo sisters and Oyebode after Otedola wrote a petition to the Nigerian police on an attempt by the trio to blackmail and extort him. After their first appearance in court, the sisters absconded leaving only Oyebode who has been diligent in making court appearances.
They visited the prosecutor’s office in Yaba, where it was revealed that the sisters obtained a temporary travel document that aided their escape.
It was further discovered that one was of the sureties; Alhaji Waheed Sobunlo was identified and made to write an undertaking to provide the trio on every date of adjournment. The undertaking was written on 26/12/2016. At a second hearing into the case on in January 2017, tables turned around when the sisters did not appear in court and this prompted the presiding judge to issue a bench warrant for the sisters. The warrants were dated 25/1/2017. A bench warrant was issued for their surety, Sobunlo on 2/2/2017 after he failed to produce the sisters in court.
