Two Nigerian Armed Robbery Suspects Jump From Two-Storey Building To Escape Trial

Ibadan, May 28, 2024 (NAN) Two armed robbery suspects on Tuesday attempted to evade trial by jumping from a two-storey building located within Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court Complex in Ibadan, where they are facing trial.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Damilare Adeniran, 27, and his friend simply identified as Victor, jumped simultaneously as  Magistrate G. Oladele was about to give the next adjourned date.

The police had  charged the duo and three others with conspiracy and armed robbery.

According to the prosecutor, Insp Femi Omilana, the five suspects had been remanded by the court since 2023 pending advice of Oyo State Director of Public Prosecution in the case.

Omilana alleged that the five suspects robbed some people while armed with guns and other dangerous weapons.

“They were remanded since then at the Agodi correctional facility, Ibadan, but were today brought to the court for mentioning of the case and for the court to know the position of the matter.

“The magistrate was about to announce an adjournment date when we heard a sound.

“One of the suspects jumped from the court’s back window while the other jumped from the front rail.

“The duo landed on the floor. One broke his head and another, his spinal cord.

“They were both taken to the jailors half dead, because they could hardly walk,” Omilana said of the two armed robbery suspects who attempted jumping to escape trial in Ibadan.

The magistrate adjourned the case until July 8 for mention.(NAN)
