A magistrate court in Bolade Oshodi has sentenced 13 men to three months in prison for open defecation and public urination across the Agege and Alimosho areas of Lagos. The judgment was delivered on Monday, June 16, after each offender admitted to the charges when brought before the court.
Those convicted include Friday Samuel, 49; Sulaimon Olalekan, 54; Idris Jimoh, 45; Alao Babatunde, 54; Chinonso Dominic, 21; Akeem Suraju, 42; Lawal Idris, 29; Oluwatobi Adebayo, 30; Ismaila Adeyemi, 35; Murtala Jamilu, 20; Samson Memudia, 54; Jamilu Abdullahi, 29; and Ganiyu Akeem, 55.
The prosecution did not require a long trial as all 13 individuals pleaded guilty during their arraignment. After reviewing the confessions, the magistrate delivered the same sentence for each: three months behind bars.
