Messrs Sulaiman Adisa, 38 and Yusuf Dauda, 18, were on Monday arraigned in a Badagry Magistrates’ Court in Lagos State for alleged threat to kill one Sulaiman Aliu.
The defendants, whose addresses were unknown, are facing a two-count charge of threat to life and a breach of the peace.
The Prosecutor, ASP Ikem Uko, told the court that the defendants committed the offences at about 10:38a.m on Nov. 6 at Ajangbadi area of the state.
Uko said that the defendants allegedly threatened to kill the complainant “with just two bullets of the gun”.
He said that the defendants also conducted themselves in a manner likely to cause a breach of the peace by threatening to kill the complainant.
He said that the defendants were apprehended immediately and handed over to the police.
The prosecutor said that the offence contravened Sections 246 and 168 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
However, the defendants pleaded not guilty to the charge against them.
The Magistrate, Mr. Patrick Adekomaiya, granted them bail in the sum of N300,000 each with two sureties in like sum.
Adekomaiya said the sureties must reside within the court’s jurisdiction with evidence of tax payments to the Lagos State Government.
He thereafter adjourned the case to Nov. 22 for mention. (NAN).
