The magistrate’s court sitting in Yaba, Lagos, yesterday, witnessed a mild drama following an outburst by one of the arraigned suspects.

The incident occurred during the hearing of a two-count felony charge brought against the suspect, Tunde Balogun (21), who instead of pleading to the charges, brought out some drugs from his pocket as he cried to the magistrate: “Please Ma, I have been on these drugs since Saturday. I am not feeling okay. I have not had anything to eat since morning. Please Ma, if you can help me, just give me something so that I can swallow these drugs.”

This prompted the magistrate to halt the session for some minutes to ascertain the health condition of the accused from the Prosecuting Officer who brought him to
court. It was then revealed that it was a strategy to distract the court session.

Democracy.....lolololololooo

Tunde balogun i hope you are not the son of that mumu masqurade

it's unfair when suspects are starved, tho this dude wanted to be smart

Did anyone expect the Police to agree the poor boy have not eaten. It had nothing to do with his case the magistrate should have ordered for the food and continue the session. If na politician now, he would have gotten the "Cicilia Ibru" treatment. God punish poverty.
