Ugwu said:
The DPO said the man will be charged on Monday; this is a man that we said is mentally ill. Have you conducted any medical examination on him to know whether he is mentally fit to be charged to court? On what grounds are you charging?”
Also giving a short biography of his client, Ugwu added that Uja, a former staff of Zenith Bank had developed some mental instability and was asked recently asked to leave Reiz Continental Hotel where he stayed some days ago when he visited Abuja.
He also noted that Uja had purchased three different tickets on Friday from Abuja to Lagos but had issues with airline staff before he finally got into Ibom Air.
His words:
“If you go through his social media, you will understand that he is not even a member of the Obedient movement. But the long and short of it is that the man is mentally unstable.
“After he was arrested and the DPO saw reports in the media, the DPO confided in me that the man is not a normal person.
“It’s just the system; I told the DPO that you do not even need a medical certificate from the family but as an investigator, employ the services of a psychiatrist to confirm the mental stability of the man. But as I speak with you, I left the police station around 5 pm and we have not seen the DPO today in the station."
