Avekpon Bernard, an 18-year-old man, a defendant who is standing trial for conduct likely to cause breach of the peace, alongside 22 others, before an Igbosere Magistrate’s Court, Lagos, yesterday, shocked everyone in the premises.
 
The young man got people shocked after he suddenly excreted in the dock, while the Court Registrar was reading the charge to the defendants.
 
According to Vanguard, the defendant had told the Investigating Police Officer, IPO, that he was pressed and wanted to use the toilet just before the court started sitting, but he refused, saying he cannot leave the other defendants.
 
Bernard, who was sweating profusely and obviously could not hold on any more, excreted inside the court, fouling the courtroom.
 
The defendants were alleged to have conspired with others, who are still at large, to commit the alleged offence.
 
They all pleaded not guilty to the charge.
 
However, the magistrate, Mrs A. Ogunbowale, granted the defendants bail in the sum of N50,000 each, with one surety each in like sum.
 
She adjourned the case to October 6, for trial.
