Two robbery suspects were severely injured in an escape attempt after being arraigned at the Ibadan Magistrate Court in Iyaganku.
The event occurred when the offenders, who have been detained at the Agodi Correctional Centre since 2023, jumped from a two-story building in an attempt to flee the court premises.

According to accounts, the suspects landed on hard concrete, causing life-threatening injuries.

Witnesses at the scene described the fall to Vanguard as horrible, with one suspect apparently cracking his skull on impact.

His odds of surviving have been seriously questioned in light of this.

A source that spoke with the platform said, “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.

“They 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.”
