An Ado Ekiti Chief Magistrate’s Court has remanded a 33-year-old dry cleaner, Imole Emmanuel, in prison custody for pouring hot soup on a police corporal, Kayode Akingbade.
Emmanuel was slammed with three counts of assault and conducting himself in a manner likely to cause a breach of public peace.
It was learnt that he also attempted to snatch the corporal’s service rifle.
Policemen were said to be on surveillance around Baptist College area on Ilawe Road and the suspect was ordered to leave their area to allow the cops carry out their operation.
Akingbade was said to have dashed to the canteen to eat about 30 minutes later only for the suspect to trace him there and carry out the attack.
At the sitting held Monday, police prosecutor, Bankole Olasunkanmi, prayed the court for a short adjournment to enable him study the case file and assemble his witnesses.
