September 20, 2016 – Chaos As Accused Man Defecates On Dock At Igbosere Court Room In Lagos Today
Drama As Man “Shit” On Himself Inside Dock At Igbosere Lagos Court Room
A foul smell halted arraignment inside a court room at Igbosere Magistrates’ Court in Lagos today after an accused reportedly defecated in the dock.
The accused identified as Avekpon Bernard was among the 22 men arraigned for breach of peace by Justice AO Ogunbowale today but just as the proceedings began, Avekpon who was seen holding his stomach while sweating profusely begged an Investigating Police Officer to allow him to use the toilet but his desperate plea was rejected.
He was told to hold on until the end of his arraignment.
The unexpected however happened the moment the accused and 21 others entered the dock.
The man reportedly defecated on himself while the court clerk was reading the charges to them.
Foul smell soon filled the courtroom with every holding their noses.
When people started walking out of the courtroom, a counsel asked about the source of the foul odour, Avekpon immediately owned up saying “I shit on myself”
The IPO who initially rejected his plea was the one who led him outside the court room.
This is terrible humiliation of another human being and inexcusable if the man had indicated he needed to ease himself. Although maintenance of human dignity might not be part of police training, it should be made part of such traing because the world is changing and the norm now leans towards best practices in every given situation.
An accused person is a human being and is presumed innocent until otherwise proved. Even if convicted or condemned to die it is not right to subject any human being to such treatment as made the situation we read about arise. It is unacceptable, painful and very offensive indeed.
Mchweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew !!!!!!
@ Big Aunty Koks, you are right on this one. Even if that guy is a notorious criminal, he should be allowed to ease himself. That has nothing to do with his case. All they have to do is to provide additional security to prevent his escape. The police are now doing the job they didn’t want to do in a hard way.
am sure it was tension, am sure the person that did is from ********* tribe.
Nature call in a very funny way.
Funny buh very serious. I think d only judge we’ll stand before without excuse/es is GOD almighty. He would have been permitted in d first request made #lesson_learnt.
HAHAHA! TENSION! BOK IS RIGHT. BUT THAT IPO IS wicked.
LWKMD…nah tension sha
