Alleged Assault On Lawyer Boluwaji Ajiki : Court Remands Assailants

Four individuals, Jacob Fidelis, Sharon Alexandra Chidera, Itoro Dominic Robert, and Williams Raymond, were arraigned on June 17, 2025, before Magistrate Emmanuel Iyanna at Court 1, Wuse Zone 6, Abuja.

This followed an alleged attack on a lawyer, Boluwaji Ajiki, while performing his professional duties at Iyemi Plaza Gudu Abuja on the same date.

The assailants face a five-count charge, which includes:

Joint Act (Section 79, Penal Code)
Voluntarily Causing Grievous Hurt Without Provocation (Section 247, Penal Code)
Criminal Intimidation (Section 265(b), Penal Code)
Mischief (Section 397(b), Penal Code) and
Defamation (Section 327, Penal Code)

All the defendants, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Their lead counsel, Emmanuel Chui thereafter, applied for bail, but the prosecution counsel, Abah Donatus Esq, vehemently opposed the application.

Magistrate Iyanna adjourned the case to July 7, 2025, for a ruling on the bail application.
