A 43-year-old panel beat, Ikenna Okeke, on Friday appeared in a Badagry Magistrates’ Court for allegedly threatening the life of his client.
The police charged Okeke, whose address was not provided, with threat to life and breach of public peace.
The Prosecution Counsel, Insp Ayodele Adeosun, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on Jan.2, at the People’s Bus stop, Ajangbadi area of Lagos.
Adeosun said the defendant conducted himself in a manner likely to cause breach of peace by refusing to work on a truck belonging to the complainant, Osita Ozugbor.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The Chief Magistrate, Lazarus Hotepo, admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum.
