A 30-year-old lawyer, Bayo Adedokun, on Wednesday appeared
in an Igbosere Magistrates’ Court, Lagos, for allegedly threatening to kill
Sen. Buruji Kashamu and Alhaji Muniru Ogunleye over land disagreement.
Adedokun, whose address was not given, is charged with four
counts of conspiracy, attempted murder and conduct likely to cause breach of
the peace.
He, however, pleaded not guilty.
The Prosecution Counsel, Inspector Steven Molo, told the
court that the defendant committed the offence in August at Ogombo village in
Eti-Osa area of Lagos.
Molo alleged that the defendant hired 10 thugs to kill the
complainants claiming that a portion of land they were occupying belonged to
his family.
He said the defendant conducted himself in a manner likely
to cause breach of the peace.
The offence, he said, contravenes the provisions of sections
56(a), 168(d), 230(1) and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
Magistrate O.O. Oshin admitted the defendant to bail on
self-recognition and ordered him to deposit his certificate of Call to Bar to
the court.
Oshin adjourned the case until November 14 for mention.
