According to reports by PUNCH Metro, a senior officer at the Lagos state police command disclosed that the movie star’s freedom may be possible due to the ongoing strike of members of the Judicial Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN).
He said since courts are not seating at the moment, the actor cannot be tried and therefore held in custody.
