According to citinewsroom.com, his arrest followed a bench warrant issued after he missed a court appearance on Monday, June 24, 2024.

The prosecution informed the court that the accused was intentionally evading the legal proceedings. Nii Yarboi initially failed to appear before the Dansoman Circuit Court on Thursday, June 20, 2024, prompting an adjournment to June 24, 2024. When the case was called again, he was absent. The police prosecutor revealed that Nii Yarboi was deliberately ignoring court directives, leading to the request for a bench warrant, which the court granted.

Sources close to the prosecution confirmed that Nii Yarboi was apprehended following the issuance of the bench warrant. The court has adjourned the case to July 8, 2024.

The arrest and ongoing prosecution of Nii Yarboi highlight the legal consequences of evading court proceedings and underscore the importance of adherence to judicial processes.
