The police in Lagos on Friday arraigned four for persons for allegedly assaulting a company director.
Mary Sunday (24), Richard Akpan (30), Kingsley Sunday (36) and Christiana Agim (26) were charged before Magistrate B.O Osunsanmi of the Somolu Magistrate’s Court, but they pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor, Adegoke Akinlebi, said the accused assaulted Mr Emeka Wilson, the managing director of a marketing company, at about 10 a.m. on Nov. 4 at Abiodun Junction in Shomolu.
Akinlebi said the accused also damaged some of the company’s property.
He explained that the misunderstanding started when Sunday, an employee of Wilson, demanded her salary two weeks after she was employed.
Akinlebi said the alleged assault was contrary to Section 351of the Criminal Code of Lagos State.
The four persons, however, pleaded not guilty to the two-count charge and were granted bail by the magistrate in the sum of N50,000 with a surety each.
The court adjourned the case till Dec. 10 for further hearing.
