Court proceedings halted as ex-NURTW linchpin ‘Auxiliary’ collapses in Ibadan
Proceedings at the Oyo State High Court, Ibadan Division, were halted on Tuesday after Mukaila Lamidi, aka ‘Auxiliary’, collapsed inside the courtroom.
Mr Lamidi reportedly slumped while seated and awaiting his case, triggering panic and prompting intervention by court officials and security personnel.
“The court could not continue due to the unexpected medical emergency,” a court official said after the incident.
The presiding judge, Justice Bayo Taiwo, consequently suspended proceedings and adjourned the case.
Mr Lamidi, a former chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers in Oyo state, is standing trial on 17 counts.
The charges include alleged armed robbery, murder, attempted murder, and unlawful possession of firearms, involving an AK-47 rifle and two SMG rifles.
