Police arraign Ibadan brothers over death threat
The police on Thursday arraigned two brothers, Adewale Oladele, 58 and Saheed Oladele, 42, for threatening the life of a relative.
The defendants are charged with conspiracy, threat to life and conduct likely to cause breach of peace.
The brothers, who appeared before the Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court, pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor, Philip Amusa, told the court that the duo committed the offences sometime in 2022 at Omoteji compound, Idi-Arere, Ibadan.
Mr Amusan alleged that the duo threatened the life of a relative, Bolawa Oladokun, through text messages and physical confrontation.
He alleged that the defendants threatened Mr Oladokun by telling him they would deal with him and remove him as ‘mogaji’ (head) of the family.
The prosecutor also alleged that the defendants conducted themselves in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace by insulting Oladokun and his family members in their compound.
The magistrate, Mr Olaolu Olanipekun, granted the defendants bail of N100,000 with two sureties each.
He adjourned the case until April 24 for a hearing.
