Police spokesman, Ag. DCP Jimoh Moshood, who spoke on the relocation said: “The police medical team at our facility examined him and concluded that he was okay to stand trial, but he insisted that he was not okay.
“He was later taken from DSS Hospital on Friday but he refused to enter. He preferred to sleep outside. His insistence to sleep outside showed that he is healthy. So, he has been taken to detention at IRT Office and we have 14 days warrant. He will be taken to court within the 14 days period.”
