\n<\/p>\n

There was trouble at an Osogbo magistrate\u2019s court, on Tuesday, when two men engaged in a scuffle over the bail of a widow, Mrs. Funmilola Ariyo, who was charged with stealing N66,430.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the men, identified as Saka Oyedeji, engaged an unnamed retired prison officer in a scuffle inside the premises of the court just as visitors to the court, watched in surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both men, who were separate parties in a land dispute before the court, had individually offered to stand as surety for the widow when the spat broke out.<\/span><\/p>\n

The unnamed retired prison officials, who first offered to stand as surety, had upbraided the widow, warning her to live above board.<\/span><\/p>\n

This charge angered Oyedeji, who warned the retired official against insulting the widow, saying that he (Oyedeji) would stand surety for the woman instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ariyo, who brought her four-year-old daughter to court, broke down in tears when it appeared that nobody would stand surety for her.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her pitiable sight prompted both men to come to her rescue, but the simmering land dispute between the two men got the better of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the land dispute was not mentioned in court.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
