Police arrest, arraign two for having a toy gun
An Ikeja Magistrates’ Court on Monday ordered that two unemployed men be remanded in prison custody for having a toy gun.
The police charged Toheed Tajudeen, 25, and Segun Jayeola, 27, with conspiracy and unlawful firearm possession.
Magistrate Elizabeth Adeola, who did not take the plea of Tajudeen and Jayeola, ordered that they should be kept at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre, Lagos.
Ms Adeola directed that the case file should be sent to the director of public prosecutions (DPP) for legal advice.
She adjourned the case until September 7 for mention. The police prosecutor Kenrich Nomayo alleged the suspects conspired and had a dummy gun, prohibited by the government.
The prosecutor said the offence contravened sections 312 and 411 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
