A 25- year- old man, Alexander Njoku, has been arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrate Court, over an allegation of damaging a flower tree belonging to one Ms Onyeka Onwenu.
The defendant, who was docked before Magistrate Sule Hamzat, is facing a one count charge of malicious damage, preferred against him by the Police.
It was said that the defendant trimmed the tree as part of his duties as a cleaner because he saw snakes and reptiles that could cause injuries to worshippers and occupants at the premises.
The Police prosecutor, Inspector Roman, told the court that Njoku, who works as a gardener and cleaner at House of Praise Christian Centre located at 28B Isaac John Street Ikeja Government Reserved Area GRA, committed the alleged offence on July 19, 2013.
He said that the defendant maliciously and willfully damaged the flower tree at the property, which housed both the Church and Onwenu’s office on July 19, 2013 at about 9am.
The prosecutor said that the offence committed is punishable under section 348 of the criminal law of Lagos state of Nigeria 2011.
However, when the charge was read to the defendant, he pleaded not guilty to the one count charge against him.
Magistrate Hamsat, granted him bail in the sum of N50, 000 with one surety in like sum and further adjourned the case to September 24, 2013, for mention.

Am I d only 1 who feels dat d Judge's 50.000 bail is too much

How can he trim the juju plant that ensured worshippers who walked past it, remained in the trance of distributing all their possessions to the church pastors? Silly gardener. They should flog him publicly

hmm ok ooo n someone wil say poverty isnt a problem

ohisola: Am I d only 1 who feels dat d Judge's 50.000 bail is too much

You are not, it's ridiculous. How much does the gardiner earn in a month. Our judiciary is just terrible.

Go through the thread again...... She has an office there..... The property houses both the church and her office.....

He trimmed d flower tree n he is charged? I will cut it down n use d stems as fire wood to cook.

Besides if dis is d popular Onyeka Onwenu, den I suggest d gardener shud trim her hair too to allow sense in.

This's unfair!!!
