A Grade A Customary Court in Ibadan on Tuesday punished a 27 year-old man, Taiwo Ajala, for urinating in a public place.

Ajala was punished after he was caught urinating within the premises of the court.

The Court’s President, Mrs S.M. Akintayo, punished Ajala by asking him to kneel down, face the wall, raise up his two hands and close his eyes for polluting the environment.

The president of the court subsequently ordered the police to arraign Ajala as an offender.

Ajala started crying and pleaded for leniency.

“Please, forgive me, I did not know that it is an offence to urinate in a public place,” he pleaded.

Akintayo subsequently pardoned Ajala, and advised him to desist from such acts.

The Minister of Works, Engr. Nweze David Umahi, has urged Nigerians to reflect on their personal devotions to the cause of the nation and the gains of fostering stronger bonds and positive memories in interpersonal relationships as Christians celebrate Christmas.

In a statement he personally signed on Wednesday in Abuja, Wednesday morning, Umahi said Nigeria deserves nothing less than the commitment of love and devotion to the tenets of peace and progress from all citizens.

He said: “On this momentous occasion of Christmas Day celebration, I am heartily and profoundly delighted to felicitate and share with Nigerians the great joy that the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ heralds and the hope of everlasting salvation it brings to mankind.

“Indeed, this Christian festival offers us a memorable opportunity to reflect on the need to renew our attitude to gratitude to God our Maker, through our unflinching love for one another, boundless generosity to our neighbours and selfless service to humanity, which are divine values required to make the world a better place.

“In a moment like this, we are expected to reflect on our personal devotions to the cause of the nation and the gains of fostering stronger bonds and positive memories in our interpersonal relationships.

“Our nation, Nigeria, deserves nothing less than the commitment of love for our country and devotion to the tenets of peace and progress from all citizens. The Renewed Hope administration has made record-breaking marks in improving public service delivery and refixing governance framework that will stimulate economic growth and national development.

“The private sector window is being created, and the enabling infrastructure is taking shape. Our road infrastructure delivery is being enhanced nationwide to support the growth of our economy. All we need is a reciprocation of faith, hope, solidarity, loyalty, and love for our nation.

“As we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and its significance to our nationhood, I particularly send my warm greetings to the President and Commander-In-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, and I commend him highly for his profound leadership stewardship that is making the desired difference in our development trajectory.

“Let me publicly recognize the management and staff of the Federal Ministry of Works, who have been exceptionally wonderful in driving the Renewed Hope agenda in the works sector. Together, a nation of peace and prosperity shall be achieved.”
