The police on Tuesday dragged a 37-year-old man, Lekan Afolabi, before an Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court in Ibadan, for allegedly causing injury to a complainant with broken bottle.
Afolabi, whose address was not stated, is standing trial on a three-count charge of conspiracy, causing injury, and conduct likely to breach peace.
He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The prosecutor, Insp. Adeshina Folaranmi, told the court that the defendant committed the offences on Oct. 29 at Odo-Ona Elewe, Ibadan.
Folaranmi alleged that Afolabi and others now at large injured one Mr Usman Adetunji with a broken bottle, causing him injuries.
According to him, the defendant was eventually arrested by the police.
The offences contravene the provisions of sections 249(d), 338, and 516 of the Criminal Law of Oyo State, 2000.
The Magistrate, Mrs Oluwabusayo Osho, granted the defendant bail in the sum of N500,000, with two sureties in like sum.
She adjourned the case until Feb. 15, 2027, for hearing.
