Oko refused to walk on his own, pretending not to understand what was going on. However, he was helped to the witness box by the correctional officer that brought him to the court.

As he reach the witness box, the court clerk called his name to know if he understood the English language or Hausa language, so as to know how to administer the oath for him, but did not respond and instead kept starring at the court without uttering a word.

Everyone in the court was baffled as the court clerk called him several times but he did not respond.

Counsel to the defendant Barr. Alex Muleng, then came up with an argument that the sanity of his client is unstable.

“It appears the weight of charges slammed on him is too heavy for him to bear and as a result has developed imbalanced mental conditions,” said Muleng.
