Man Denied UK Entry Assaults Gardaí | Cork News

A 37-year-old Nigerian man, Grifix Onowu, faces serious charges after allegedly assaulting two Irish police officers at Dublin Port—reportedly biting one during a heated encounter. Denied entry to the UK, he arrived in Ireland by ferry and was detained when authorities tried to question him. In court, prosecutors argued against bail due to his lack of ties to Ireland and absence of legal representation amid ongoing legal aid disputes. Despite his presumption of innocence, Judge Áine Clancy sided with the police, ruling that no bail conditions could guarantee his court appearance. Onowu remains in custody and is set to appear again this Friday. The investigation continues. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
