A judge in Osun State, Justice A. O.
Oguntade, at the state High Court, Ede, on Thursday barred journalists
from covering the divorce proceedings involving Billionaire businessman and father of popular Afro singer davido ,
Deji Adeleke and his estranged wife, Teju.
Oguntade had on Monday, November 16, prevented journalists who were present at the court by chasing them out of the court room. The judge again on Thursday asked journalists present in the courtroom to go out before the proceedings started.
On entering the court, Oguntade said,
“Journalists present in this court should go out. I repeat, journalists
present in this court should go out now.”
The judge asked his orderly to escort
the journalists out and the orderly relayed the order to the senior
police officer, Adeoye Yekinin, who led a team of armed policemen
deployed in the court for the divorce case.
The police officer, however, was polite
in carrying out the order as he pleaded with the two journalists
including our correspondent to vacate the court.
The armed policemen waited patiently for the journalists to leave before they returned to the entrance of the court.
