The Onitsha Magistrate Court 3 was thrown into confusion and uncontrollable laughter when three monkeys and their owners (Northern men), were arraigned on a 2-count charge of conspiracy and robbery. The well-fed monkeys and their owners were docked for robbing a senior police officer attached to Zone 6, Calabar, while transiting to his Base. According to the Court Prosecutor, the said officer had run out of cash, and had gone to an ATM Cash Machine to make a withdrawal. Soon after the transaction, he came across some mallams, conducting an open-air 'monkey magic show'. While watching the show, the monkeys pounced on him, tore his pocket, robbed him of the sum of N50,000, and threw the cash to one of the mallams, who then swiftly took to his heels.
The counsel for the defendants prayed the honourable court to strike out the case. But the court ended up granting bail to the monkeys, since there is 'no zoo' in Onitsha to hold them on remand.
- Dis wan na old trick now!!!. How d hell did a policeman fall victim to dis. D man na mugu.
- May be na for village the man grow up.
- By d way, dis mallams go don make money well well for onitsha. I hope dey have built house for Maduguri.
