Thirty-two-year-old Adeola, a resident of Ureje Street in Ado-Ekiti, is standing trial on a two-count charge of breach of peace and illegal conversion of money.
He, however, pleaded not guilty before an Ado-Ekiti Chief Magistrates’ Court.
The prosecutor, Insp Olubu Apata, told the court that the defendant committed the offences in March at Ureje.
