The offences contravened Section 172 and 310 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
Following his not guilty plea, the defendant was granted bail in the sum of N50, 000 with two sureties each in like sum.
The magistrate, Mrs Bukola Mogaji, who gave the ruling, said one of the sureties should either be a community leader, a clergyman or a traditional head.
