Two brothers, Claire Alaga and Vincent Alaga, appeared before an Ojo Magistrates’ Court in Lagos State on Wednesday.
They are accused of alleged assault on an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP).
The defendants were arraigned before Magistrate Ademola Adesanya on a four-count charge of conspiracy, assault, breach of peace and resisting arrest.
They, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The prosecutor, Simeon Uche, told the court that the defendants committed the offence on December 1, at ABS Bus Stop on Isashi Road in Ojo.
According to the prosecution, the defendants resisted arrest by a police officer, Adeniyi Clement.
