Bukola Saraki had on two occasions in recent days evaded an anti-corruption court that had twice ordered the country's police chief to present him through a warrant of arrest.
Nigeria's prosecution authority had filed a thirteen count charge bothering on alleged false declaration of office and operation of foreign accounts contrary to the country's constitution.
But despite being served the charges, Saraki refused to show up in court.
With intimidating supporters showing solidarity and a legal team made up of the best lawyers, it looked like Saraki was set to evade justice but the tribunal shocked Nigerians when it ordered his arrest.
But the arrest was frustrated by the bureaucracy in the issuance of the bench warrant to the police.
Saraki also resorted to legal technicalities and courts to set aside the arrest warrant or hearing of the main case.
The Federal High Court and Court of Appeals all refused his applications for interim injunctions on Monday and with no more escape route, Saraki finally agreed to present himself before the court.
Many of his supporters in court felt sad by the new bench warrant of arrest and it left his legal team with lesser choices.
Nigerians eagerly await what will happen next to see if indeed President Muhammadu Buhari's anti-corruption campaign is real or mere lipservice.
