““Person wey go comot on Saturday morning” – Netizens react as Court sends Koko Zaria to prison for assaulting actor Baba Lawori

Social media users are reacting to the news that MC Oluomo’s disciple, Koko Zaria, was sentenced to prison for attacking actor Baba Lawori.

Creebhills reported that in July, the Yoruba actor had screamed out for help after being brutally attacked by one of Koko Zaria’s staffers.

He described how, while acting as a Master of Ceremony at an event, a stranger approached him, claiming that Koko Zaria wanted to see him, unaware that it was a set-up.

When he arrived, Koko Zaria asked why he hadn’t acknowledged him. Baba Lawori had apologized and promised to make amends when one of his associates slammed a bottle on his head, leaving him covered in blood and unconscious.

On Thursday, September 5th, a Lagos Chief Magistrate Court remanded Koko Zaria in prison custody for assaulting the actor. Koko Zaria, on his part, denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty to the charges.

His lawyers, S. Bello with S.O Ajetomobi, moved for bail application, saying the charge against their client was a bailable one.

Chief Magistrate Sonuga, after hearing counsels’ submissions, grated Oyedepo bail in the sum of N2 million with two sureties in like sum. However, the Magistrate Court remanded Koko in the Nigerian Correctional Services (NCoS) custody, pending the perfection of bail terms.

Reacting to the news, many noted how the NURTW Chieftain wouldn’t be sent to prison because of his connections.
