An Ejigbo Magistrates’ Court in Lagos State, on Thursday, granted bail in the sum of ₦400,000 to one Tijani Muiz, who allegedly bit the finger of a police officer on duty.

He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge. The prosecutor, Insp Benedict Aigbokhan, had told the court that the defendant committed the offences on July 24, at 9.30 p.m. at Jakande Gate, Ejigbo, Lagos State.

According to Aigbokhan, the defendant obstructed Insp Raymond Maugbe from carrying out his official duty. “In the course of obstructing the officer from carrying out his official duty, the defendant assaulted the officer by biting him on his left finger,” he said. Aigbokhan added that the defendant conducted himself in a manner likely to cause breach of public peace.

He said that the offences contravened Sections 168, 173 and 174 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
