A 40-year-old man, Richard Madubuko, on Monday appeared before an Ojo Magistrates’ Court in Lagos State, over alleged threat to life of one Mr Nnamdi Nwafor.

The defendant is standing trial on a three-count charge of assault, breach of peace and threat to life.

He, however, pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutor, ASP Simeon Uche, told the court that the defendant committed the offences on Nov.10, at a place called BG House, near Sunny Bus Stop in Ojo.
