A 26-year-old man, Michael Ojadeni, on Monday appeared before the Ota Magistrates’ Court in Ogun over an alleged breach of peace.

Mr Ojadeni, whose address was not provided, is facing a charge of breach of peace, to which he pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutor, E.O. Adaraloye, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on February 12, at about 12:00 p.m. at Took Taya St, Iyana-Iyesi, Ota.

The magistrate, O.O. Fadairo, granted bail to the defendant in the sum of N100,000 with one surety in like sum.

Ms Fadairo directed that the surety must reside within the court’s jurisdiction and be gainfully employed with evidence of tax payment to the Ogun State government.

The case was adjourned until March 4 for further hearing.
