3 charged with assault in Ekiti

The Ekiti State Police Command has arraigned three men, Oyelami Wasiu (49), Ajibola Michael (76) and Saka Akinola (56), in a magistrates’ court sitting in Ado-Ekiti over alleged threats to violence and assault.

The prosecutor, Inspector Akinwale Oriyomi, told the court that the defendants, on July 25, at Iworoko-Ekiti, intimidated and threatened to kill one Eneji Saliu, a farm manager.

Inspector Oriyomi added that the defendants conducted themselves in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace and entered a parcel of land which was in lawful possession of one Mr Mayowa Seriki.
