Proceedings at the Oyo State High Court, Ibadan, were halted on Tuesday after Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi, popularly called Auxiliary, collapsed inside the courtroom.
Lamidi reportedly slumped while seated and awaiting his case, triggering panic and prompting swift 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 day’s sitting.
The collapse occurred during hearing of Suit No. I/74c/2024, The State vs. Mukaila Lamidi (Auxiliary).
Lamidi, a former Oyo State chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, 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.
