He alleged that they also assaulted and tore the complainant’s clothes.

The Magistrate, Mrs A.O. Adeyemi, granted the defendants bail in the sum of N100, 000 each, with one surety each in like sum.

Adeyemi ordered that the surety must reside within the court’s jurisdiction and be gainfully employed with tax payments to the Ogun State Government.
