A Magistrates’ Court in Ota, Ogun State has ordered a housewife, Biola Joshua, to sweep Iju-Ebiye High School premises for six months after invading the school with thugs.

The accused was charged with conspiracy, assault and breach of peace.

Delivering judgement on Wednesday, the chief Magistrate, Shotunde Shotayo ordered the convict to sweep the school from 8 a m. to 11 a.m. every day.

The school was also ordered to open a log book for the accused to sign in daily.

Shotayo gave Joshua an option to pay a fine of N30,000 to be given to the principal and the teacher.

The Prosecution Counsel, Insp Cynthia Ejezie, informed the court that Joshua, her son and others on the run carried out the act on March 11, 2021, at about 2 p.m. at Iju-Ebiye High School in Ota.

Ejezie said the convict and her accomplices assaulted the school principal and health officer of the school, causing them bodily injuries.

She added that they also conducted themselves in a manner likely to cause breach of peace by invading and disrupting the academic activities of the school with thugs.

The prosecutor said that the offence contravened the provisions of sections 249(d),355 and 516 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Ogun, 2006.

The accused whose address was not provided pleaded not guilty to the charges.
