Okah, who is standing trial on charges of terrorism alongside Obi Nwabueze, had on Oct.6 attempted to jump out of the court located on the third floor of the five-storey building.
At the resumed hearing, the prosecution, Dr Alex Iziyon (SAN), made an oral application requesting that Okah be chained to avoid a possible abortion of justice.
Iziyon, who referred the court to Section 269 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, urged it to grant the application to save the life of the accused person henceforth during proceedings.
“Where a defendant or an accused person misbehaves or displays misconduct in the course of proceedings in such magnitude, he or she should be placed under fetters.
“I urge the court to take judicial notice of the proceedings of Oct. 6 and grant our prayer,’’ he said.
