Chidi Uzomah, was arrested inside the E! building where Ryan shoots his daily TV show earlier this morning. Uzomah was arrested at 9:40 a.m. PDT today, after showing up at E! offices and asking to see Ryan Seacrest. He was armed with a knife when he showed up. Sources say he is the same man who attacked Ryan's security guard last month outside an Orange County hospital. In that incident, he had a knife as well. Uzomah pleaded guilty to three misdemeanors for the prior incident. The judge placed him on three years probation, ordering him to stay away from Ryan. Ryan Seacrest was in the building at the time Uzomah entered, although fortunately the deranged lunatic never got within sight of the AMERICAN IDOL host. According to TMZ, the hardest working man in Hollywood and his staff have been asking prosecutors for weeks to take swift action against the alleged wacko.Ryan's people called the Orange County D.A.'s office immediately after the KIIS incident, asking prosecutors to violate Uzomah's probation and put in place a criminal protective order. They fear he poses danger and should be locked up.
Members of his family who brought the food were turned back by warders at the Kirikiri Prison.
George, sources said, has not been eating since he got to the prison on Monday.
A source said his action may have been informed by the poor quality of food served.
It was gathered that George and his fellow convicts may have demanded that food be brought to them from their homes. But there was no approval for their action, a source said.
Spokesman of the Nigerian Prison Service (NPS), Lagos command, Mr Ope Fatinikun, told The Nation that inmates were expected to apply to bring in food.
The prison, he said, is a sensitive security area, adding that proper procedure must be followed before food could be brought in.
It was gathered that the prison authority is not comfortable with the number of people coming to see him since his arrival.
A source told The Nation that George is likely to be moved if his supporters pose a security threat at Kirikiri.
But Fatinikun said it was too early for anybody to begin to contemplate such a move.
He said any group that poses a security threat to the prison would be dealt with.
The inmates are yet to get their prison numbers, but the process has begun, it was learnt.
A source said they have not been given their numbers because the system is computerised.
According to the source, the numbers are in five digits but only four digits will be issued an inmate. The last digit will only be known to the prison – for security reasons.
The inmates have, however, been allocated their cells and uniforms.
George and others filed their notices of appeal at the registry of the Ikeja High Court.
In the appeal is a motion urging the court to grant them bail, pending the determination of the appeal.
Their lawyers refused to release copies of the papers, alleging that reporters had deliberately sensationalised the reports of their clients’ conviction.
The lawyers, who also refused to reveal their names, came into the court premise around 2pm, and finished filing the papers at about 4.00pm.
They accused the media of acting in bad faith by reporting that their clients were sentenced to 28 years imprisonment. This newspaper reported two and half years.
Entreaties from reporters, who besieged the registry on learning that the lawyers were around, were ignored.
