The Lagos State Police Command has brought charges against Hassan Nurudeen, aged 20, and Hussien Nurudeen, also aged 20, as they appeared before a chief magistrates’ court.
The charges stem from their alleged assault on two employees of the Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC).
The twin brothers, whose residences remain undisclosed, are facing a three-count charge encompassing assault, malicious damage, and attack. Despite the charges, the defendants entered a plea of not guilty.
The prosecutor, ASP Clement Okuoimose, told the court that the defendants committed the offences on November 27, at about 1:35 p.m., at Evangelist Bello David Str. Aradagun, Badagry area of Lagos.
Mr Okuoimose said the defendants attacked Lamidi Akeem, an employee of EKEDC, by using a stone and a stick to inflict injury on his left eye.
“The twins allegedly damaged one Samsung Galaxy A41 phone valued at N153,000 belonging to one Enemwo Clement, a staff member of EKEDC. The defendants also assaulted the two staff members of EKEDC,” he said.
The prosecutor said the offences contravened Sections 173, 339 and 172 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
Magistrate Fadaunsi Adefioye granted the defendants bail of N200,000, each with two sureties in like sum.
Mr Adefioye adjourned the case until January 8 for mention.
