Monday, November 4, 2024 - There was a heavy
security presence on Monday, November 4, at the Oyo State High Court at Ring
Road, Ibadan, as the former Chairman of the Park Management System’s (PMS)
Disciplinary Committee, Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi, popularly known as Auxiliary,
was brought for trial.
Security around the court premises was tight, with patrol vans
positioned strategically and a mix of uniformed and plain-clothed officers from
the police and Amotekun Corps stationed at key areas.
This heightened security underscores the gravity of the charges against
Auxiliary, which include armed robbery, murder, attempted murder, and illegal
possession of firearms, notably an AK-47 assault rifle and two SMG rifles with
magazines.
The charges, outlined in a 17-count charge sheet, fall under the Robbery
and Firearms (Special Provisions) Act, CAP RII, Vol.14, Laws of the Federation
of Nigeria, 2004.
The case, numbered i/74c/2024, is being heard before Justice Olabisi Adetujoye
in Court 5.
Auxiliary’s arrival in court was closely monitored, with Executive Assistant on
Security to Governor Seyi Makinde, Cmpl Sunday Odukoya (rtd), also present.
Proceedings are expected to commence shortly, with the trial drawing widespread
attention due to Auxiliary’s high-profile role and the serious nature of the
charges.
