Drama in court as 35-year-old fashion designer wee-wee inside dock

There was a mild drama at the Magistrate Court in Osogbo, Osun
State when an accused person, Ibrahim Saheed urinated inside the
dock during his arraignment by police for burglary.

The incident initially stalled the arraignment of the
35-year-old fashion designer as he was taken out of the dock but
eventually brought back and re-arraigned.

The Prosecutor, Inspector Elisha Oluwasegun told the court that
on 24th of October, 2019 at about 02:10am at Kinikun street, Africa
area, Osogbo, the accused break into the house of one Mr Abdulsalam
Tajudeen through the ceiling.

He said the accused committed an offence contrary to, and
punishable under Section 411 of the Criminal code, Cap 34 volume
II, Laws of Osun State of Nigeria 2002.

The accused pleaded not guilty to the offense levelled against
him. He had no counsel. He begged the Magistrate to release him to
go home, saying he has no one to stand surety for him.

In his ruling, Magistrate Opeyemi Badmus granted him bail with
the sum of N50,000 and a surety. He adjourned the case to 19th of
November, 2019.

However, as the man could not even attempt to meet the bail
condition, he was whisked into the waiting prison van.
