A police source said that the arrest of the accused persons was ordered by the Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG in charge of Zone two Command, Onikan, Lagos following a petition by the children of Late Moshood Abiola represented by Mr Deji Abiola. After investigation by Inspector Sunday Oyelani and his team, the accused persons were charged before an Igbosere Magistrate Court, Lagos on a seven-count charge bordering on conspiracy, threatening violence, forcible entry, malicious damage and stealing.

He said the accused persons were arrested at their hideout following a tip off.  Emby said the offences the accused committed were punishable under sections 411, 340, 56 (a), 52, 351, 287 and 56 (1)(a) of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015. The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the alleged crime and Chief Magistrate Folashade Botoku granted them bail in the sum of N10,000,000 each with two sureties each in like sum who must show proof of three years tax payment to the Lagos State government.

Botoku adjourned the case till 1 February, 2018 for mention and ordered that the defendants be kept at the Ikoyi Prison, Lagos till they are able to perfect their bail conditions.
