50-yr-old docked for failing to produce defendant
A 50-year-old man, Oluwadamilola Arigbede, who stood as surety for his mother, Oluwaremilekun Arigbede, has been docked at the Lagos State Magistrates’ Court in Ikeja on a one-count charge.
Oluwadamilola was arraigned for failing to provide his mother for prosecution in a case of stealing, forgery, and conspiracy leveled against her.
The charge sheet read: “That you, Oluwadamilola Arigbede (M), on March 18, 2021, about 1530hrs, at CP Monitoring Unit, Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja, Lagos, in the Lagos magisterial district, did voluntarily stand surety to one Arigbede Oluwaremilekun who was involved in a case of conspiracy, forgery, and stealing.
“That you voluntarily undertook in the bond to produce her from time to time pending the time the case against her is finally disposed of or charged to court, but you failed to produce the said suspect as required. You should therefore show cause why you should not forfeit Seventy N75 million which you undertook to pay should you fail to produce the said suspect inline with Section 97 (1) of the criminal law of Lagos Stale 2015.”
The defendant pleaded not guilty and he was granted bail. The court then fixed August 30 for commencement of trial.
