The Police in Lagos on Monday arraigned five persons before an Ikorodu Magistrates’ Court for alleged assault and pouring of faeces on three persons.

The defendants are: Joke Usanni, 40; Monday Joseph, 24; Aminat Ajetumobi, 25; Friday Ogunji, 32; and Bakare Lukman, 21.

However, they pleaded not guilty to a six-count charge of conspiracy, assault and breach of peace.

The Prosecutor, Fola Takunbe, said the accused assaulted Messrs. Abioye Adeola, Abioye Adekanmi and Ologbenla Adepoju, by pouring faeces on them.

The accused, he also said, assaulted two police officers, Augustine Olatunde and Tibiebi Johnson, while they were performing their lawful duties.

Takunbe said the accused conducted themselves in a manner likely to cause breach of public peace.

Magistrate Ademola Adesanya granted the defendants bail in the sum of N100,000 each with two sureties in like sum.

He adjourned the case until May 5.

Meanwhile, an Ikorodu Magistrates’ Court in Lagos, on Monday, issued a warrant of arrest on two defendants and their sureties over their non-appearance in court.

Adesanya said the warrant was issued on the defendants and their sureties based on their absence in court.

“The court cannot wait for the defendants but the defendants ought to wait for the court; a bench warrant is hereby ordered against the defendants and their sureties,” Adesanya said.
