The police on Friday arraigned two men
in a Magistrates’ Court in Badagry, Lagos for allegedly loitering around some
banks.
The police charged Onukwuru Isiguzo, 51; and Babatunde
Adebayo, 53 with wandering and breach of public peace. They, however, pleaded
not guilty to all the charge. The prosecution counsel, ASP Ayodele Adeosun,
told the court that the defendants committed the offence on Dec. 23, 2019, at
about 10 a.m, behind Methodist Primary School, Badagry, Lagos.
Adeosun said the defendants conducted themselves in a manner
likely to cause the breach of peace by going round the UBA, for a protracted
time, without any apparent purpose.
The offence, he said, contravened the
provisions of sections 168 and 166 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
Magistrate Lazarus Hotepo, admitted the defendants to bail in the sum of
N100,000 each with two responsible sureties in like sum. Hotepo adjourned the
case until March 24, for mention.
