A Nigerian migrant has appeared in court accused of sexually assaulting two women when he was staying in a migrant hotel in London.

Olusola Kamson, 31, allegedly groped two women on two separate occasions in Islington, north London, on August 7 and August 12 this year.

The defendant, who had been staying at the Thistle City Barbican hotel, appeared at Highbury Magistrates' Court wearing a grey prison tracksuit and flanked by three prison guards.

Avnita Bhudia, defending, said: 'I have spoken to the doctor, and Mr Kamson was seen by the mental health team in court, assessed under the Mental Health Act.

'Unfortunately, the mental health team have left the court building today, and there is insufficient information as to where Mr Kamson could be taken if he is sent to hospital. He will have to be sectioned and sent to a hospital at a later date.'
