Three men who allegedly injured one Bamigbade Kamoru, by hitting him on the head with planks were on Wednesday arraigned in an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court .
The defendants – Nwazufu Francis, 25; Nwode Ogechi, 20, and Ndubueze Egbara, 27, of no fixed addresses, are facing a two-count charge of conspiracy and assault, according to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN.
The Prosecutor, Insp. Eruada Victor, told the court that the defendants committed the offences on Sept. 20 at Ajegunle Market, Alagbado, Lagos.
Victor said that the defendants conspired and assaulted the complainant by using planks to inflict injuries on his head over an argument.
“Kamoru has been treating his injuries at the hospital and was present in the court,’’ he told the court.
The offences contravened Sections 173 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015 (Revised).
The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The Magistrate, Mrs G. O. Anifowoshe, granted the defendants bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties each in like sum and adjourned the case until Nov. 7 for mention.
