Court remands defendant for unruly behaving during trial.
A man identified as Ibrahim Saheed, has been
remanded in prison custody for unruly behaviour
during a court session.
Saheed was standing trial before Magistrate
Opeyemi Badmus of an Osun State Magistrate Court
sitting in Osogbo, when he peed in his pants.
The defendant had been arraigned before the
magistrate over allegations bordering on attempted
robbery.
When the charges were about to be read, Saheed,
who had all the while been reportedly calm,
suddenly started shouting, saying
“I am not the one;
they are just lying against me. I am not the one that
attempted to rob him. We have been living in the
same house in Abere for a long time.”
Saheed also asked the magistrate to allow him go
out of the court to urinate when the clerk started
reading his charges.
According to Punch, before the magistrate could
respond to the request, Saheed had urinated on
himself.
The police prosecutor, Elisha Olusegun, however
said the accused was only feigning insanity, adding
that they both conversed well before the court sat.
