A
middle-aged woman, Kemi Saheed, has appeared before an Ikorodu Magistrates’
Court for allegedly beating up a man within the premises of the Ikorodu
Judicial Division.
The
accused, whose address and profession were not stated, was docked on Tuesday on
a three-count charge of assault, breach of peace and conspiracy before
Magistrate A. Oshodi-Makanju.
Saheed
however pleaded not guilty of the offences levelled against her.
The
prosecutor, Sgt. Kemi Adeniran, told the court that the accused committed the
offences on Nov. 9 with one other person still at large.
She
said the offences were committed at about 9.40 a.m. within the premises of the
judicial division where two High courts and four Magistrates’ Courts are
domiciled.
“The
accused and her accomplice beat up one Afolabi Ogunjobi and disrupted
activities at the courts.
“Her
male accomplice escaped arrest.
“They
even tore Ogunjobi’s clothes as they beat him up to the dismay of the people
around and caused breach of the peace in the compound,’’ she said.
The
prosecutor said the offences contravened Sections 166(D), 170 and 344 of the
Criminal Law of Lagos States 2011.
The
Magistrate granted the accused N50,000 bail with one surety, who must be
gainfully employed.
Oshodi-Makanju
said the surety must show evidence of tax payments to Lagos state government
and adjourned the case till Dec. 22 for mention.
