A magistrate has been disciplined after he took a knife in his bag to court.

Agboola Obanubi, who sits at courts in South Essex, faced misconduct proceedings over the incident which happened when he turned up to court for a training day.

A "camping-style folding knife" was found in a compartment of his bag as he passed through the court's security checks at the front entrance, the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO) said.
