A 28-year-old man, Abdul-Salam Wasiu, on Wednesday appeared in a
Badagry Chief Magistrates’ Court, Lagos State, for allegedly
posting a fake picture of an insane girl inside a gutter on
Facebook.
The police charged charged Wasiu, whose address was not given
with two counts of breach of peace and belonging to secret a
society.
The Prosecutor, ASP Akpam Ikem, told the court that the
defendant committed the offence on April 15 at 2.54 p.m., at No.
130, Aka Road, by Church Bus Stop, in Ajangbadi area of Lagos.
Ikem said the defendant conducted himself in a manner likely to
cause breach of peace by posting a defamatory statement on social
media.
He said that the defendant sent a video of a girl in a gutter on
Facebook, against New Planet Hotel, located on Aka Road,
Ajangbadi.
Ikem said the video the accused sent was with the caption:`This
girl just got mad this moment at Aka Road; the girl just come out
from the hotel shouting planet yahoo boys have used the girl, the
story known to be false.
The accused, he said, also confessed to be a member of an
unlawful society, a secret cult group known as Eiye
confraternity.”
He said the offence contravened the provisions of sections 168
and 44 of Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015, as amended.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The Chief Magistrate, Mr Patrick Adekomaya, admitted Wasiu to
bail in the sum N50, 000 with one surety in like sum.
Adekomaya adjourned the case until May 28, for hearing.
