A Magistrates’ Court in Ota, Ogun, on Wednesday ordered a 40-year-old housewife, Biola Joshua, to sweep Iju-Ebiye High School premises, Iju-Ota, in Ado-Odo/Ota Council area, for six months for invading her son‘s school with thugs.

The police charged Joshua with conspiracy, assault, and breach of peace.

Delivering a ruling, Magistrate Shotunde Shotayo ordered the convict to sweep the school from 8 am. to 11 a.m. every day.

He also directed that the school should open a logbook for the convict where her daily activities would be recorded for that six months. 

Shotayo gave Joshua an option to pay a fine of N30,000 fine to be given to the principal and the teacher.

He held that the prosecution has proven its case beyond reasonable doubts that Joshua was guilty of the charge preferred against her.

The convict, whose address was not provided, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Insp Cynthia Ejezie, told the court that the convict, her son, and others at large, committed the offense on March 11, 2021, at about 2 p.m. at Iju-Ebiye High School in Ota.

She added that they also conducted themselves in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace by invading and disrupting the academic activities of the school with thugs.

The prosecutor said that the offense contravened the provisions of sections 249(d),355, and 516 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Ogun,2006.
