The accused persons, according to Police Prosecutor,  Corporal Oriyomi Akinwale are Raji Wasiu, 23; Ayo Ogunlana, 28; Fasusi George, 38; Arogbuwa Diya, 35; Adewumi Gbenga, 30 and Adewumi Kehinde, 44.
He said the accused committed the offence on September 22 at about noon, at High Court 6, in Ado-Ekiti.
Oriyomi said the accused obstructed the course of justice and caused disturbance in the course of judicial proceedings.
He added that they intentionally disrespected Justice Isaac Ogunyemi during his judicial proceedings, saying that they also damaged the entrance to the courtroom.
The prosecutor claimed that the offence contravened Section 133,451,126(1) of the Criminal Code,Cap C 16, Laws of Ekiti State, 2012.
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charge,while their counsel, Mr. Kola Kolade prayed the court to grant bail to his clients, promising they would not jump bail.
The prosecutor opposed the bail application, saying the offence was a grievous one.
Magistrate Modupe Afeniforo consequently granted bail to the accused in the sum of N100,000 and two sureties in like sum.
She added that one of the sureties must be a civil servant on Grade Level 12 or must be a property owner with evidence of tax clearance.
She later adjourned the case till October 22 for further hearing.
Police summon APC, PDP chairmen
Also, it was reliably gathered yesterday that the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Taiwo Lakanu has summoned the chairmen of  the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, and All Progressives Congress, APC, Makanjuola Ogundipe and Jide Awe respectively to his office over Monday’s incident.
PDP absolves Fayose
Meantime, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ekiti State has absolved Ekiti State’s Governor-elect, Mr. Ayo Fayose from Monday’s invasion of the courtroom by some hoodlums, saying Fayose had no hand in the incident, just as it has raised an alarm that members the APC has perfected plans to attack some of its members in the state.
Speaking at a press briefing  in Ado-Ekiti yesterday, Publicity Secretary of the party in the state, Pastor Kola Oluwawole, said people should stop linking the governor-elect, Mr Fayose with the incident.

ART– AN EYE INTO ANOTHER WORLD

By
For some reason, I have always been a fan of the arts. The ability to create something from nothing, the ability to bring to life what was once but only a figment of one’s imagination to me, is to dare to rival the gods, if you believe in them. I consider the artist to be a gift to man to constantly remind him that he is possible of anything! This piece is more of a show than tell as I am certain that it would not be proper to write an article on art and tell more words than I show works. I have therefore had to steal from a friend, a classmate and most of all, a talented artist as I, myself, am not so gifted as to put up my works for display but still, I shall humour you eventually with my rendition of a popular cartoon that you may recognise if you grew up watching ‘Looney Tones’. Nevertheless, gift is not a necessity to appreciate beauty and the plethora of magna opera (The many great works). Mr Joshua Zirigbe (9β) is a Nigerian from Delta State and he has given us the opportunit...

Jouleconcept's correspondent, Mr Juwah Awele covered the story and gave a report in form of an article about the occurrence. This can be read below: “There is fire in house 2! There were children locked inside the house…” those were the words of my elderly neighbour, Mrs A, returning from the scene of some ongoing tragedy. Immediately, my mother went for all our official documents she always keeps in a ready to go bag while, my father, brother and I set off in the direction of the blaze. On getting to the front of the close, T Close, we observed the residents of the first few houses on the left hastily withdrawing their belongings from their homes; stuffing generators, plasma TVs, gas cylinders and the works into the back seat of their cars. Some had already driven their cars away! Immediately, we realised the fire was coming from the next cl...
