Ganiyu Ajiboye, a 55-year-old man has
been arraigned before an Iyaganku Chief Magistrate’s Court, Ibadan for
allegedly parading himself as a traditional chief ( Alago of Ago Oja) in
Oyo town.
This was contrary to an earlier order of a court, which had restrained him from doing so.
The charge alleged that Ajiboye
committed the offence and through it attempted to cause a breach of the
peace in the ancient town.Upon the prosecutor reading the charge
to his hearing, Ajiboye pleaded not guilty and was granted bail in the
sum of N500, 000 with two sureties in like sum.
Sikiru Ibrahim, the prosecutor, in the
charge marked MY/88c/2012, heard by Bose Omotoso of Iyaganku Chief
Magistrate Court 10, said Ajiboye on June 7, 2012 allegedly paraded
himself as the “Alago of Ago Oja” thereby committing an offence contrary
to and punishable under Section 484 of the Criminal Code, Cap 38, Vol.
II Laws of Oyo State of Nigeria, 2000”.
The accused on the same day and at the
same time “did conduct yourself in a manner likely to cause breach of
the peace by parading yourself as “Alago of Ago Oja” when there is court
order restraining you from parading yourself as such, and thereby
committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 249 (d)’
of the same law of Oyo state,” the prosecutor told the court.
For allegedly disobeying the restraining
court order, the charge noted that Ajiboye committed another offence
under Section 133 (9) of the same law.
Having pleaded not guilty to the alleged
offences, and granted bail, the magistrate ordered that one of the two
sureties must be a civil servant not below grade level 07 while the case
was adjourned till July 7 for mention.
