Jungle Justice. okada men beat up judge

Justice Ogbogo Ejembi of the Otukpo High
Court, who was allegedly battered by four
commercial motorcyclists, popularly known as
'Okada', has dragged his attackers to court
for criminal conspiracy, criminal trespass
and serious assault.
Our source gathered that Ogbogo
incurred the wrath of the Okada riders
when, on August 08, 2012, on his way to the
State High Court Complex, his vehicle was
hit at the rear by one of the riders but he
chose to ignore the rider.
According to an eye witness, the Okada
rider, Agbo Athanasius, hit the High Court
judge's vehicle after the traffic warden on
duty had stopped the judge and granted
him the right of way.
The eye witness narrated that as soon as
Justice Ejembi took off towards the high
court complex, four cyclists and the traffic
warden chased and caught up with him and
thoroughly beat him up.
"It took the intervention of passersby who
apprehended the four cyclists and the
traffic warden and handed them over to the
police to save the judge."
The prosecution of the cyclists who include:
Zuzuli Emmanuel, Adam Anthony and
Barnabas Agbaka, commenced at the
weekend at a Makurdi Chief Magistrate
Court presided over by Mrs.Theresa Wergba.
When the case came up, the accused person
pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The prosecuting officer, Inspector James
Terzungwe, urged the court for an
adjournment pending further investigations
into the matter.
Meanwhile, Benue State Police Public
Relations Officer, PPRO, DSP Daniel Ezeala,
told our reporter that the traffic
warden was undergoing orderly room trial..
