Yesterday, news broke that a crew member of singer,
Davido
and some Airport officials engaged in a fistcuff at the Murtala
Mohammed International Airport on Thursday January 11th. According to
reports, trouble started when a checkpoint staff at the airport
attempted to verify some of the checked luggage with the attached tags,
but, rather than allow the staff to carry out his official duty, 22
year old
Umarudeen Kayode pictured right, insisted that
he would not allow him to verify the luggage, which after much
argument and insistence, led to fisticuffs.
Umarudeen allegedly punched the Checkpoint staff on the face, which
attracted other security officials at the terminal who immediately
attempted to arrest him. Rather than obey, he resisted arrest and
pummeled another airport security staff attached to the Federal Airports
Authority of Nigeria at the baggage claim area, an Assistant Customs
Comptroller was also injured.
Umarudeen was arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrate court on a 5-count
charge yesterday January 12th. He was charged for assault, breach of
public peace and for resisting arrest. The first charge accused him of
obstructing and resisting a public officer, an offence contrary to
section 117(1) and punishable under the same section of the Criminal Law
of Lagos State.
“That you, Umarudeen Kayode ‘M’, on the same date, time and place, in
the aforementioned magisterial district did unlawfully assault a public
officer causing him harm and thereby committed an offence punishable
under section 171 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011” reads count
2.
The magistrate granted him bail in the sum of N50, 000 and two
sureties in like sum. The sureties must have variable addresses within
the jurisdiction of the court. According to Sahara Reporters, Umarudeen
was not able to meet the bail condition as at the time the court closed
for the day. This suggests that Umarudeen will be sleeping in the prison
this weekend until he perfects his bail conditions.
A video uploaded by SaharaReporters, shows Umarudeen being conveyed
with the prison van out of the court premises a few minutes after 4 pm.
