Two
men, Ahmed Abdullahi, and Nura Musa were on Tuesday arraigned in a Wuse
Zone 2 Magistrates’ Court, Abuja, for allegedly blocking the convoy of
Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State.
Abdullahi,
37, and Musa, 23, both of Asokoro, Abuja, are facing a count of public
nuisance. The prosecutor, Adeniyi Oyeyemi, told the court that the
defendants committed the offence on February 24 at Wuse Zone 4, Abuja.
He
said the defendants unlawfully parked their car and blocked the road
and sat unconcerned until the security of the governor came down to
arrest them.
The prosecutor said during a search of their vehicle, a bottle of codeine was found.
The
defendants pleaded not guilty, while the Magistrate, Emenisi Ebiwari,
granted them bail in the sum of N500, 000 each and a surety in like sum.
He adjourned the case until March 15 for further hearing.
