Lagos, Nigeria - A 38-year-old unemployed man, Hussein Mohammed, defecated in the dock at an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court, yesterday, while standing trial for alleged theft of a motorcycle valued at N65,000.
The accused was arraigned before Magistrate G. O. Anifowose on a charge of stealing. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the accused was panting in the dock and when his plea was to be taken, he defecated and urinated uncontrollably right in the courtroom amid tears.
