Proceedings at the Greater Regional Tribunal came to a halt on Thursday afternoon when an accused person stripped himself naked feigning madness.
Munkaila Seidu, who was waiting for his case to be called, was seen by some people in the audience removing his clothes while proceedings were going on.
By the time the audience could raise the alarm Seidu had stripped himself naked and when he was asked to sit down and put on his clothes, he began shouting on top of his voice.
This compelled the court to halt proceedings. Five police officers who were called to the scene had a hectic time before dragging him to the last floor where the court's cell was.
Subsequently, Seidu urinated, defecated and smeared the faeces all over his body.
However, after court officials told Seidu that he would not be jailed but could be fined, he began to wash the faeces from his body when the Police provided him with water.
Soon after washing down, the Police whisked him away to prison while the court reconvened to continue with the business of the day.
Seidu was arrested with 48 wrappers of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp at the Achimota railway line area.
