Four men identified as Abdulmajeed Yahaya, Biliaminu Sidi, Mansur Usman and Aminu Wadatau appeared before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court in Lagos on Tuesday for allegedly damaging All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign posters.
The defendants, Yahaya, 30; Sidi, 25; Usman, 22; and Wadatau, 26, were arraigned on a three-count charge of conspiracy, malicious damage and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace.
The prosecutor, Mrs Josephine Ikhayere, told the court that the defendants and others still at large committed the offences on Aug. 30, at about 1.12 p.m., at Mile 2, Lagos, within the Lagos Magisterial District.
She alleged that the defendants conspired and conducted themselves in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace by wilfully damaging APC campaign posters.
The prosecutor also alleged that the defendants willfully and maliciously damaged the APC campaign posters, whose value was yet to be ascertained.
She said the alleged offences contravened Sections 168, 350 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
