The occurrence led to a little interruption in the proceedings, as three lawyers that sat in front of the accused hurriedly moved away from their chairs.

Despite the drama, Magistrate Olusegun Ayilara told the accused that his cough would not stop the session.

Ige was arraigned alongside Rasaq Sunday, Wasiu Adeyanju and Samson Ogunleye.

They were said to have on April 6, 2020, on Olugun Street, Osogbo, conspired to commit assault occasioning harm – an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 516 of criminal code cap 34 Vol. Il, Laws of Osun State of Nigeria 2002.
