clothes remaining her under wear and bra to scare the police at the
station, was docked in her semi-nude state.An Owerri, Imo
State-born Tessy was arrested by the police at Ajao Estate division for
allegedly stealing and taken to the station. She, however, created a
scene as she striped herself in order not to be taken to the court for
trial.

Her weird appearance at the court amused both the litigants and others who were present in court.
The
prosecutor, Mr A.U Ojei said she had to be brought to court and
arraigned her like that after much persuasion on her to dress up failed.

box and side mirror worth N200,000, properties of one Victor Akazue.
