An Ikeja Magistrate’s Court on Thursday remanded a 21- year
-old man, Chinasa Michael, in Kirikiri Correctional Centre for allegedly
setting fire to the Oyingbo BRT bus terminal during the #EndSARS protests.
Magistrate M.C. Ayinde refused to take Michael’s plea for
want in jurisdiction, NAN reports.
Ayinde directed the police to return the case file to the
office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for legal advice.
The suspect, an unemployed man, who resides at 21, Ilogbo
St., Apapa, Costain, Lagos, is charged with conspiracy, arson, and causing
breach of peace.
The Prosecution Counsel, Insp Segun Oke, told the court that
the offence was committed in October 2020 at the Oyingbo BRT bus terminal,
Lagos.
Oke said that Michael and others at large set the BRT bus
terminal on fire during the #EndSARS protest.
The offence, he said, contravenes the provisions of Sections
168, 343, and 411 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
