A 41-year-old man, Kazeem Balogun, who allegedly beat up a female inspector attempting to invite him for questioning, on Tuesday appeared before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court. The police charged Balogun with a threat to life, assault and damage to property, but the accused pleaded not guilty. Godwin Awase, the accused, who resides at Sogunle, Lagos State, beat up Insp. He said that the offences contravened Sections 56,174 and 350 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015(revised). Adigun directed that the sureties should be gainfully employed and show evidence of two years’ tax payment to the Lagos State Government.
