Two women, Ajumobi Motunrayo, 25, and Adeleye Janet, 24, were on Wednesday, arraigned before an Ado-Ekiti Chief Magistrates’ Court over alleged breach of peace.
The defendants, whose addresses were not stated, are facing a charge of breach of peace.
The police prosecutor, Insp Moyosola Adesola, told the court that the defendants committed the offence on July 29, at about 03:05 a.m. in Ado-Ekiti.
She alleged that the defendants conducted themselves in a manner likely to cause the breach of peace by roaming around the street without any reasonable excuses for their movement.
Adesola said that the offence contravened Section 181(d) of the Criminal Law of Ekiti State 2021.
She urged the court to adjourn the case to enable her to study the file and assemble her witnesses.
The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge preferred against them.
