The Kuje Correctional Centre has presented to the Zuba
Magistrate Court, the medical report of the psychiatric evaluation of Obiajulu
Ujah.
The citizen, regarded as a supporter of Labour Party (LP)
presidential candidate Peter Obi, caused a stir at the Abuja airport on March
31.
Ujah was ejected from a Lagos-bound Ibom Air flight after
vociferously opposing the May 29 inauguration of President Bola Tinubu.
Upon his arraignment in April, he was sent to prison for one
month to enable medical experts to determine the state of his mental health.
The medical report signed by the Kuje Prison Chief Medical
Officer (CMO) suggests Ujah has a mental disorder, PRNigeria reported on
Tuesday.
At the last sitting at the FCT Magistrate Court in Zuba,
Magistrate Abdulazeez Ismail Muhammad subpoenaed the Controller General of the
Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).
Also summoned was the Kuje Correctional Centre CMO to
“provide his opinion in writing as to the state of mind of Ujah, who is said to
be mentally-challenged”.
With the report now tendered before the court, Ujah will
know his fate at the next hearing in the matter adjourned to the 15th day of
June, 2023.
