The bloody raid on his home, where two deaths were officially announced by the government amidst massive destruction of his property, led to his disappearance in Nigeria, only for him, to surface in the neighbouring country, en route Germany.
Since his arrest last Monday and the failure of the Nigerian government to immediately get him deported, his case has witnessed twists and turns.
