addresses were not provided, with assault, conspiracy and breach of peace.
The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty
to the charge.

Adaraloye, told the court that the defendants and others at large, committed
the offence on June 5 at about 4.50 p.m. at Ariyo Street,Via Lafenwa, Itele,
Ota.
Adaraloye alleged that the defendants
assaulted and bit off the complainant, Daramola Olawunmi’s nose.
He said that the defendants also conducted
themselves in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace by using offensive
language.
The prosecutor said that the offence
contravened the provisions of sections 390(9), 395, and 516 of the Criminal
Code, Laws of Ogun, 2006.
The Magistrate, Mrs. A. O. Adeyemi, admitted
the defendants to bail in the sum of N200,000 each with one surety in like sum.
Adeyemi ordered that the surety must reside
within the court’s jurisdiction and be gainfully employed with evidence of tax
payment to Ogun Government.
She adjourned the case until July 24 for a
further hearing.
