Court grants bail to 70-year-old man accused of vandalising state project in Lagos

A Magistrate Court sitting in Bolade, Oshodi, has granted bail to a 70-year-old man, Kayode Otitoju, who was arraigned on a two-count charge for allegedly vandalising a state government fence construction project along the canal setback in Lekki Phase 1.

Otitoju, who was arrested on Sunday, pleaded not guilty to the charges. 

His defence counsel, Oluwaseun Ettu, applied for bail on lenient terms, which the court granted.

The bail conditions include a N200,000 bond, provision of one surety, submission of a three-year tax clearance certificate, and verification of the surety’s address.

The court adjourned the case to July 25, 2025, for the commencement of the trial.
