The police in Lagos on Monday arraigned 37-year-old Moses Okhakumen in the Badagry Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly assaulting officers of the Federal Road Safety Corps along the Lagos Badagry expressway.
The defendant, whose address was not provided, is being tried on a two-count charge of assault and obstruction.
The prosecution counsel, Clement Okuiomose, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on April 7, at about 3:30 p.m. at MTN Bus Stop along Lagos Badagry expressway.
“The defendant also obstructed other FRSC’s officers, Ibrahim Ridwan and his team, from performing their lawful duty,” he said.
The prosecutor said the offences contravened Sections 172 and 117 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015. However, the defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The Chief Magistrate, Fadahunsi Adefioye, admitted the defendant to N100,000 bail with one surety, and adjourned the case until May 10 for mention.
