A Federal High Court in Abuja has stood down proceeding for 20
minutes to allow Abdulrasheed Maina to take his medication.
It was observed that while proceeding was going on, a security
operative attached to the court approached the judge, Justice Okon
Abang, to inform the judge that water was being poured on Maina,
who is seated at the back roll of the court room.
At that point, Maina’s lawyer informed the judge that he had
wanted to apply for the court’s permission for his client to take
his medication, but does not want to be seen as disrupting the
proceedings.
Justice Abang thereafter granted the plea for medication to be
administered on Maina.
It was observed that Maina was bleeding from his nostrils as his
relatives and prisons officials rushed to attend to him.
As at the time of filling this report, the bleeding appeared to
have been stopped, howbeit, prison officials are still attending to
him.
