Two robbery suspects in Ibadan, Oyo State have sustained various degrees of injuries in their bid to escape justice. According to report, the suspects jumped from a two-storey court room, but injured themselves in the process.
VANGUARD reported that a 27 year old robbery suspect and his partner in crime injured themselves when they attempted to run away after being arraigned before an Ibadan Magistrate Court, Iyaganku.
“The two suspects have been in Agodi Correctional Centre since 2023 where they are awaiting trial.
VANGUARD reported that the suspects jumped from a two-storey building and landed on the hard concrete downstairs. They were reported to have sustained life-threatening injuries.
“Though, they didn’t die on the spot, VANGUARD stated that one of the suspects might not make it. He was said to have landed on the concrete with his head and had deep cuts.
“When the two of them jumped through the window in attempt to escape, perhaps they didn’t know how high the court is. They landed heavily on the floor.”
“One of them who was wearing a white vest had his head bleeding. While the other suspect’s spinal cord was affected. They couldn’t stand up. Instead, they were writhing in pains.
“The court was about adjourning the case when everyone in the court room heard a loud thud outside. But, the prison officials who brought them to the court quickly ran downstairs to attend to them.”
“The officials carried the one in white vest into a waiting van. The two of them had handcuffs on them. It looked as if the suspects had planned it earlier because they jumped at different points.
“The court, though distracted a bit, then adjourned the case to July 8,2024,” the source said.
