A 30-year-old lawyer, Bayo Adedokun, on Wednesday appeared in an
Igbosere Magistrates’ Court, Lagos, for allegedly threatening to
kill Sen. Buruji Kashamu and Alhaji Muniru Ogunleyetwo over land
disagreement.
Adedokun, whose address was not given, is charged with four
counts of conspiracy, attempted murder and conduct likely to cause
breach of the peace.
He, however, pleaded not guilty.
The Prosecution Counsel, Insp. Steven Molo, told the court that
the defendant committed the offence in August at Ogombo village in
Eti-Osa area of Lagos.
Molo alleged that the defendant hired 10 thugs to kill the
complainants claiming that a portion of land they were occupying
belonged to his family.
He said the defendant conducted himself in a manner likely to
cause breach of the peace.
The offence, he said, contravenes the provisions of sections
56(a), 168(d), 230(1) and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State,
2015.
Magistrate O.O. Oshin admitted the defendant to bail on self
recogintion and ordered him to deposit his certificate of Call to
Bar to the court.
Oshin adjourned the case until Nov. 14 for mention.
