Shortly after being arraigned before the Zuba Magistrates’ Court, Mr. Obiajulu Uja, an inaugural flight passenger for Anti-Tinubu on an Ibom aircraft from Abuja to Lagos, was returned to Abuja and remanded in jail custody.

The President-elect, Bola Tinubu, must never be sworn in as president on May 29, according to Uja, who launched a lone protest on Friday evening and was taken off a flight from Lagos to Abuja.

As the Ibomair aircraft was delayed for about an hour, according to Vanguard, airport security personnel removed him.

According to a copy of the charge sheet, Obiajulu Uja was accused of violating sections 396, 267, 188, 172, and 144 of the Criminal Code Law as well as other charges related to public annoyance, resistance to a legitimate arrest, violent threats, and other behaviour likely to disturb the peace.

He was charged at the Zuba Magistrates’ Court after they misled us and took him to the Muhammadu Buhari Police Hospital in Area 11 of Abuja, according to his attorney Ejike Ugwu, who spoke to the media yesterday.

Obiajulu was admitted to the Muhammadu Buhari Police Hospital, he said, adding that neither a psychiatrist nor a psychologist were available at the facility to conduct an examination of the patient.

When we got there, at approximately 3 o’clock, they informed us that they intended to charge him in Zuba Magistrates’ Court.

“We informed the court that the same police had invited the doctor to check him and, rather than waiting for the physicians to examine him, had swiftly charged him to court.

“Even with the test we had done, we spent about N40,000 at the Police clinic, and we abandoned all of their testing; they did not provide us any prescriptions for anything.

“The way the police are handling it makes it seem as if they have an interest in the case because you brought someone to a police clinic and now you’re going to court to convince the judge that you need the individual to be held in custody so you can continue the investigation.

They hastily removed him from the hospital, therefore as of right now we are not aware of the outcome of the test that was performed there’, the attorney claimed.

He stated that the bail application process for Mr. Obiajulu Ua will start on Thursday.
