Earlier, the Prosecutor, Sgt. Ishola Samuel, had told the court that the defendant committed the offences with other persons at large along Ogunjobi St., Dopemu, Agege in Lagos on June 5.
Samuel said that the defendant assaulted Mr Moshood Majiyagbe by using a big stick to cause serious injury on the head and right hand over a little disagreement they had.
“Majiyagbe sustained an open injury on his head,” the prosecutor said.
Samuel said that the offences contravened Sections 411 and 173 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Section 173 stipulates a three-year jail term for offenders.
