Man docked for resisting arrest, assaulting policeman

A 34-year-old man, Solomon Sanusi, who allegedly assaulted a policeman in mufti and tore his clothes, has appeared before an Ikorodu Magistrates’ Court in Lagos State.

Sanusi is also charged with resisting arrest and causing a breach of peace at a police station.

The accused denied the five-count charge before Magistrate Bola Olagbegi-Adelabu.

But the prosecutor, Cpl. Mary Ajiteru insisted that the accused committed the offences on June 24 at 4.30 p.m.

She said the accused committed the offences in the office of the Divisional Crime Officer at Ikorodu Police Station.

“Sanusi caused a breach of peace by his conduct inside the police station while some policemen were attempting to hold him.

“He resisted arrest in a manner which caused a breach of the peace.

“The accused assaulted Sgt. Kehinde Jimoh while he was performing his lawful duty.

“He tore the clothes of Sgt. Jimoh valued at N5,000 and also inflicted injury on his face with his fingernails.”

The offences contravened Sections 166 (d), 117 (i), 172 (b), 171 and 337 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.

The magistrate granted the accused a N50, 000 bail with one responsible surety and adjourned the case to Sept. 13 for mention.

FG berates US congressman over comment

Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture Photo: Femi Ipaye/PM News The Federal Government has described as sadly out of tune with reality the published letter from US Congressman Tom Marino to Secretary of State John Kerry, asking the US to withhold security assistance to Nigeria on the strength of some imaginary infraction by the Buhari Administration. In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said Congressman Marino was poorly informed about the issues he commented on, wondering why he did not take the pains to get first hand information from the US Embassy in Nigeria or any other credible source before engaging in what is nothing but a ‘propaganda of his own imagination’.
