The accused persons – Olatundun Olayieola (38), Falilat Adepoju (53)
and Abiodun Ayanlade (30) – are facing a two-count charge of assault
occasioning harm and assault causing bodily harm.
The Prosecutor, Sgt. Jimah Iseghede, told the court that the trio

N150,000 each, with two responsible and gainfully employed sureties in
like sum.
She adjourned the case till April 17 for mention.
