A Grade ‘A’ Customary Court in Ibadan on Friday remanded a 20-year-old man, Ayobami Aderopo, in the Agodi Correctional Centre, Ibadan, for pleading guilty to disturbing school activities.
Mr Aderopo, whose address was not provided, was charged with conduct likely to cause a breach of peace, to which he pleaded guilty.
Therefore, the court president, Sukurat Yusuf, remanded the defendant at the correctional facility and adjourned the case until July 9 for the review of facts and judgment.
