Mr. Adewunmi Makanjuola of an Osun State Chief Magistrate’s Court sitting in Osogbo, yesterday, ordered a middle-aged lawyer, Nnajite Okobie, to frog-jump for five minutes in front of the court premises as a punishment for disrupting court proceeding.
Makanjuola, who was presiding over a case was apparently disturbed from the noise by Okobie, who was having a conversation with two other people suspected to be his clients on the court premises.
The magistrate, sent the court orderly to warn the lawyer to desist from making noise. But the man failed to heed to the advice of the judge.Annoyed by the action of Okobie and clients, Magistrate Makanjuola ordered the court orderly to bring the trio before him and asked them to make a choice on whether to be docked for contempt of court or to frog-jump for five minutes for their punishment.It was at this point that Okobie and his clients chose to frog-jump. Makanjuola then asked the court orderly to sanction them by engaging them in a five-minute frog-jump. Lol!
The magistrate stressed that the action of the lawyer and his clients had put the court in disrepute.
