EXTRA: Ademola, judge on trial, tells photojournalists not to take his picture

Adeniyi Ademola, a judge of the federal high court, Abuja, who is facing corruption charges, on Tuesday sparred with photojournalists who wanted to take pictures of him and his wife.

Ademola, who was being arraigned by the federal government before Jude Okeke, a judge of an Abuja high court,‎ asked the photojournalists to get out of the court.

‎”Get out, get out. Don’t take my pictures. Get out,” he ordered.

His wife, Olabo‎wale,  also joined him in heckling journalists.

“Why are you harassing us? Why are‎ you harassing us?” she yelled.

However, the photojournalists did not give up as they struggled to get a shot of him.

Ademola and his wife then hide their faces from the cameras after the journalists refused to cave in.

His lawyers afterwards stampeded them out of the court.

The court was not sitting at the time.

The defendants are  facing 15-counts of corruption to the tune of N248m.
