Hillarious ! At an Ikeja Court, Owls Disrupt Court Proceedings, Cause Panic by lagbaja(m): 9:39am On Jan 30, 2009 |
http://www.punchng.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art2009012923362178 Proceedings at a Senior Magistrate‘s Court in Ikeja were on Thursday disrupted when two owls flew into the courtroom causing a mild panic. Lawyers, court officials and litigants scampered in various directions on sighting the owls, which gained access into the courtroom through the open louvre windows. The incident resulted in the subsequent adjournment of the criminal matter preferred against one Peter Olufemi [21], standing trial for the theft of personal valuables and jewellery worth about N1m. At the resumed hearing of the matter before the trial senior magistrate, Mr. Tesleem Elias, a Police Inspector, Mr. Bartholomew Nwaokoye, appeared for the prosecution while Mr. Esse Imonighara, was the defence counsel. The court was considering the application for the substitution of the charge brought against Olufemi when the two owls suddenly flew into the courtroom. When the birds were sighted, some litigants raised the alarm, and this attracted the attention of the court officials and the magistrate. Instantly, several persons rushed out of the courtroom while a few others were confused on what to do. The elderly litigants within the courtroom believed that they were ‘mystery’ birds that must be caught and killed. The traditionalists among them quickly rendered certain incantations and pursued the owls until one of them was caught while the second one escaped. They killed the bird and immediately set its body ablaze behind the courtroom and watched it burnt into ashes. However, before the owl was killed, the court had adjourned the proceedings till February 4. Olufemi was alleged to have on October 9, 2008 at No 4, Grace Oroloye Crescent, Awuse estate, Opebi, Ikeja entered into a dwelling house and stole a gold wrist watch, a gold necklace, an envelope containing cash, all valued at about N1m, belonging to one Mrs. S.O Ajomo. |

Proceedings at a Senior Magistrate‘s Court in Ikeja were on Thursday disrupted when two owls flew into the courtroom causing a mild panic. This is hilarious but very serious.These days, It's like Nigerians are returning to the god of their ancestors for solutions The traditionalists among them quickly rendered certain incantations and pursued the owls until one of them was caught while the second one escaped. @ Faratoka and his incantations priests. I hope you have seen the efficacy of incantations? So, do something . |

I have a lawyer friend working in Nigeria that tells stories about spiritualist/herbalists/traditionalists hanging from trees outside court rooms, making incantations etc as court is in session in order for cases to go their clients' ways. Whilst they are hilarious, he does not believe they are in vain a lot of times. |

Those ghostly owls were sent into that Lagos courtroom by a gang of vicious Area-Goats who had taken up strategic positions outside the building, firing SPORADICALLY into the air and causing court bailiffs and passers-by to SCAMPER FOR DEAR LIFE until sanity was restored by the timely arrival of a Juju witch-doctor who engaged the owls and goats in a ferocious 3-hour spiritual duel in which CHARMS, DANGEROUS WEAPONS and CURSES were FREELY USED. Early reports from the battle-front confirm that the Juju witch-doctor has defeated the main attacking force of owls and goats, but is still engaged in mopping up operations targeted at pockets of resistance who either fled into a nearby cornfield or flew up into the rafters in disarray. Please let us all now rise and sing the Nigerian National Anthem. |

But owls are suppose to be nocturnal.elusive and solitary birds.How come they are in such an open busy place in the day?probably crazy like all things in nigeria. In a way,it is unfounded and need some thoughtful explanations. |
