The Police Prosecutor, ASP Akinwale Oriyomi, told the court that the defendants committed the offences at about 4:00p.m., on August 14, in Ado-Ekiti.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
He also alleged that Emeka and another person at large obtained an iPhone 16, valued at N1.1million, from Ikechukwu, under false pretence with intent to defraud.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to him, Ikechukwu also stole phone accessories, valued at N800,000, property of Emeka.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The prosecutor also alleged that Ikechukwu and others at large obstructed one Olujobi Ifedayo and his team, while executing their lawful duties.<\/p>\n

He alleged that they assaulted one Musa Mohammed by spitting saliva on his face, while he was performing his lawful duty.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Oriyomi also alleged that the defendants assaulted one Adaramodu Raphael and Kolawole Goodness during the execution of their lawful duties.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He further alleged that the defendants maliciously damaged a Techno Spark 4.0 handset, valued at 295,000, belonging to one Musa Mohammed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The Counsel for the defendants, Mr Luke Mbam, urged the court to grant the defendants bail, with a promise that they would not jump bail.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Chief Magistrate, Mr Abayomi Adosun, thereafter, granted bail to the defendants in the sum of N100,000 with one surety in like sum.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Adosun later adjourned the case to Sept. 29, for hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
