Yusuf Idris, 23, on Wednesday docked before an Abeokuta Magistrate court sitting in Isabo, Abeokuta (Ogun capital) for allegedly taking pictures of the convoy of Ogun state Deputy Governor, Yetunde Onanuga.

The accused was said to have used his phone to record the movement of the convoy of the Deputy Governor while leaving the official quarters for her daily activities.

It was gathered that Idris was working as a security man at a house opposite the Deputy Governor’s Lodge, Ibara Housing Estate, Ibara, Abeokuta Ogun State.

The accused person who was facing one count charge of breach of peace, pleaded not guilty.

The Prosecutor, Inspector Famous Edigbue told the court that the accused committed the crime which is likely to cause breach of public peace and threat to the life of the Deputy Governor.

The charge sheet read thus, “That you, Yusuf Idris “23” on the 16th of January at around 8:03am at Deputy Governor’s Lodge, Ibara Housing Estate Ibara Abeokuta in Abeokuta Magisterial District did conduct yourself in a manner likely to cause breach of the public peace by videoing the convoy of the Ogun State Deputy Governor Chief (Mrs) Yetunde Onanuga from her quarters while going out for the day activities”.

OBAGADAFFI:
How will taking pictures of the convoy of Ogun state Deputy Governor cause breach of the public peace?

I wonder oooo

Our Politicians become demi gods when they get Power.


What is the police there for if not to invetigate the man whether he has ulterior motive and if non he should be frred.


Since its like this i will say that our politicians shouldn't come on TV because their face can be recorded

Wetin person eyes no go see for Nigeria especially with this APC government.


So, taking pictures of a convoy is now a crime

That man have no respect for constituted authority

..The guilty are truly afraid.

There is a kind of tyranny running over there in most states of the SW, from their governors to deputy governors, they see themselves as God....

I smell trouble.

Nigerians should be careful for who they vote into government

Wat he did was nt right though,but I think d matter should hav been investigate,bsde how was d guy arrested @5 spot or later or hav he posted it on any social netwrk

Everyday thousand of people film the motorcade of the US president and no one has ever been arrested , hundreds filmed the convoy of GEJ and one even ran into it and no one was arrested

Democracy is gone with GEJ. Buhari and his government are worst then Jammeh.

APC and their scams
