Drama unfolded in Adamawa State after an 87 year old man allegedly attacked a judge with a cutlass, reportedly cutting both of the judge’s hands.
The incident has generated concern within the legal community and among residents, given the age of the suspect and the nature of the alleged attack.
Details surrounding what led to the confrontation were still unclear at the time of filing this report. However, the incident reportedly involved the elderly man and the judge before the situation escalated into a physical attack.
The alleged use of a cutlass in the incident has raised questions about security around judicial proceedings and the need to ensure adequate protection for judges, court officials, lawyers and members of the public within court premises.
The development is also expected to attract the attention of security authorities, particularly as investigations continue to establish what triggered the confrontation and the circumstances surrounding the alleged attack.
Further details, including the identity of the judge, the circumstances that brought the 87 year old man before the court and whether he has been arrested or charged, were not immediately available.
Authorities are expected to investigate the incident and determine the appropriate legal action based on the circumstances surrounding the alleged assault.
