A
young secondary school student has gotten himself into much more
trouble than he bargained for after allegedly being caught with a charm.
Sadiq Adegbite, an 18-year-old secondary school student, has been arraigned in court.
The young man was on Thursday brought before an Ogudu Magistrates’
Court in Lagos after he allegedly stole N200 from a fellow pupil and
used charm to harass other colleagues after bringing it school.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the accused, the student
of Junior High School, Ogudu, Lagos, is facing a three counts of
conspiracy, stealing and disorderly conduct.
The prosecutor, Sgt. Lucky Ihiehie, said the complainant, a
15-year-old student of the school, came to Ogudu Police Station to
report the incident.
He said while the complainant was returning from school after
school hours at Emmanuel Street, Ogudu, he was stopped by the road by
the accused and some of his friends now at large.
“They were harassing him and searching his pockets for money and they even beat him up.
“They dispossessed him of his N200 transport fare which was the only money he had in his pocket.
“A senior student came to the complainant’s rescue and the
accused brought out some charms from his pocket to scare them before the
police came,” he said.
Ihiehie told the court that the accused’s friends ran away on sighting the police.
The offences contravened Sections 166 (d), 285 and 409 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
Adegbite, however, pleaded not guilty.
His counsel, Olusegun Aghahowa, pleaded with the court to grant him bail on liberal terms considering his age.
In her ruling, the Magistrate, Mrs O. Sule-Amzat, admitted the
accused to a bail of N10, 000 with two sureties, one of who must be a
blood relative of the accused with an evidence of gainful employment.
The case was adjourned to November 1 for trial.
