Mum-Of-Five Banned After Beeb Bust-Up

A mother-of-five has been banned from all BBC premises for a year and given a suspended jail sentence for attacking a chasing police officer after she was thrown out of the corporation’s radio HQ.

Hannah Oladele, 43, of Hewett Place, Swanley, Kent arrived unannounced at two BBC buildings in a bid to highlight her sense of injustice that her children have been taken into care.

She was convicted at City of London Magistrates’ Court of assaulting the policeman outside McDonald’s, Portland Place, Marylebone on June 5, last year.

Prosecutor Regina Naughton told the court today Oladele initially tried to force her way into the beeb’s Bush House, Aldwych building.

“She wanted to get on television to explain her difficulties with social services and Bush House sent her to the building near Regent’s Street.

“Once there she demanded to go on television to tell the nation of the plight of her and her children, but was told the building only did radio broadcasts,” explained Mrs Naughton.

“She then demanded to go on the radio and eventually security staff came down to the foyer and she was escorted from the building and the police called.

“When police arrived they saw her outside, obviously angry with security staff, before she made off towards Regent’s Street.”

Police followed in a van, but Oladele repeatedly ignored their requests to stop.

“Eventually PC Bond put his arm out to hold her back and using her fingernails the defendant clawed at his throat and continued to maintain her grip,” said Mrs Naughton.

“Other officers assisted and the defendant was put on the ground as a result of her volatile behaviour.

“It took two months for the injuries to heal.”

The defendant’s children remain in care after allegations of abuse were made against Oladele.

First-time offender Oladele, who also denies abusing her children, was sentenced to six weeks imprisonment, suspended for twelve months and ordered to pay £200 compensation to PC Bond and £300 costs.

She was also banned from visiting any BBC premises for a year.
