Four Arraigned on Grounds of Assaulting an Ikeja Electric Official
Lagos, Nigeria - Four individuals were arraigned in court yesterday on charges of assaulting an official of Ikeja Electric, a leading electricity distribution company in Nigeria.
According to eyewitnesses, the incident occurred on Tuesday evening when the four suspects, who were identified as Olamide Ogunleye, 25, Adekunle Ademola, 28, Taiwo Adeyemi, 30, and Abiodun Adebayo, 32, allegedly attacked an Ikeja Electric official who was on duty in the area.
The official, who was not named, was reportedly performing his duties when the suspects, who were said to be dissatisfied with the company's services, confronted him and began to assault him.
The police were called to the scene and the suspects were arrested and taken into custody. They were later arraigned in court on charges of assault and battery.
The prosecutor, Mr. Adebayo Ademola, told the court that the suspects had committed a serious offense and that they needed to be punished accordingly.
The defense counsel, Mr. Olamide Ogunleye, argued that his clients were innocent and that they had been wrongly accused.
The judge, Mrs. Funmi Ademola, adjourned the case to a later date for further hearing.
The incident has sparked outrage in the community, with many calling for the suspects to be punished severely.
Ikeja Electric has also issued a statement condemning the attack and promising to take appropriate action to ensure the safety of its officials.
The company has also called on the public to report any incidents of assault or harassment against its officials to the authorities.
The case is ongoing and the outcome is yet to be determined.
