Man arraigned in Lagos for allegedly issuing illegal stickers to okada riders
A 40-year-old man, Musa Babangida, who allegedly issued illegal stickers to motorcyclists, has been arraigned in Lagos State.
The defendant is standing trial before an Ojo Magistrates’ Court on a count charge of breach of peace.
He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge before Magistrate L.J.K. Layeni.
The prosecutor, Dr Simon Uche, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on Jan. 20 at the NEPA area of Alaba Rago in Ojo.

Layeni granted the defendant bail in the sum of N100,000 with one surety in like sum.
He adjourned the case until March 1 for trial.
