Taiwo Olatimihan, 20; and Segun Akani, 27.
The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Eniola
Fabamwo, who issued the bench warrant also ordered that their sureties be arrested for disobeying court’s order.
Fabamwo said the court’s decision followed the non-appearance of the students and their sureties in court sincetheir arraignment.
In his application, the prosecutor, ASP Samson Ekikere, said that the defendants had refused to attend court sittings so as to frustrate the prosecution of the case since they were arraigned on June 4 on a charge of breach of peace.
The magistrate however adjourned thecase to October 29th for mention.
