Naija palava!!!
In a trial for fraud and stealing at the Ejigbo Magistrate’s Court in Lagos, an investigating police officer tendered a live python as an exhibit causing pandemonium as lawyers, litigants and policemen took to their heels on sighting the snake.
Naturally, the prosecutor, Oladejo Balogun refused to accept the snake as an exhibit.
Making an oral application asking the court to order the police to return it to their custody till the next adjourned date; the prosecutor said he had no place to keep the snake and had no idea what he was supposed to feed the snake.
The police in turn said that they were tired of keeping the snake since the arrest of the suspects last Saturday and asked the court to accept and keep it as an exhibit.
Apparently in an attempt to defraud the complainant one Alhaji Jelili Kuku, two suspected fraudsters, Kayode Oseni, 42 and Jamiu Adeyemi, 37 allegedly planted the snake in the house of the complainant.
The defendants had gone to Kuku’s house at 14, Foursquare Street, Ikotun, Lagos and planted the snake on the pretext that he was under the influence of some demonic spirits inside the house (represented by the snake they were trying to plant) and they would need to pray and buy a ram to be sacrificed which they claimed would save his life. They had already extorted N40,000 from him as the price of the ram.
However, they were unlucky as Kuku saw them while they were planting the snake and invited the police who arrested them.
This is really weird you know!!!
