A customary court sitting in Mapo, Ibadan, the Oyo state capital on Tuesday granted the Secretary of the State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Mojeed Olaoya leave to arrest his estranged wife, Alimot for allegedly flouting the order of the court.

DAILY POST gathered that Alimot and her husband had been at loggerheads culminating in the ongoing legal tussle.

The court has in the suit number 421/2018, few months ago dissolved the marriage between Olaoya and his estranged wife.
