THE Ekiti State Police Command on Wednesday arraigned a 20-year-old woman, Sale Obanla, before an Ado-Ekiti Magistrates’ Court for allegedly assaulting a police sergeant.

Police prosecutor, Sergeant Olubu Apata, said the defendant, standing trial on a count of assault, allegedly “committed the offence on August 11 about 7:00 am at Odo Aremu in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State.”

The police prosecutor told the court that the defendant allegedly assaulted one Sgt.Ilesanmi Lawrence attached to Ado Central Division, Okesa, Ado-Ekiti, when she held him and tore his cloth, while executing his lawful duty.

Apata said, “The offence contravened Section 356(1) (2) (3) and (5) of the Criminal Code, Laws of Ekiti State, 2012.”

The prosecutor urged the court to adjourn the case to enable him to study the case file and assemble his witnesses.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to her.

Counsel for the defendant, Mr Adebowale Adelusi, urged the court to grant his client bail and promised that the defendant would not jump bail.
