Court punishes man for urinating in public place

A Grade A Customary Court in Ibadan on Tuesday punished a 27 year-old man, Taiwo Ajala, for urinating in a public place.

Ajala was punished after he was caught urinating within the premises of the court.

The Court’s President, Mrs. S.M. Akintayo, punished Ajala by asking him to kneel down, face the wall, raise up his two hands and close his eyes for polluting the environment.
