Two residents of Osogbo, Osun State, were on Thursday remanded at the Ilesa Custodial Centre for allegedly attacking staff members of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company attached to its Oke-Ayepe office in Osogbo.
The defendants, Hassan Adeshina, 38, and Isiaka Mukaila, 20, in suit number MOS/625/2026, appeared before Magistrate A. Daramola of the Osogbo Chief Magistrates’ Court.
They were arraigned on six counts of assault, threat to life and conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace.
According to the charge sheet, the defendants and others now at large, on October 21, 2026, attacked Mmadukwe Michael and Jimoh Rashidat at the IBEDC office located in the Oke-Ayepe area of Osogbo.
The defendants were also alleged to have threatened the two IBEDC staff to surrender the money realised for the company on the day of the incident.
The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The charge partly read, “That you, Hassan Adeshina, Isiaka Mukaila and others now at large, on the same date, time and place in the aforementioned magisterial district, did attack one Mmadukwe Michael, a staff member of IBEDC Office, Oke-Ayepe, Osogbo and threatened him to give you the money they realised for the company by force and that if he refused, you would do him havoc.

“That you, Hassan Adeshina, Isiaka Mukaila and others now at large, on the same date, time and place in the aforementioned magisterial district, did conduct yourselves in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace when you attacked the staff of IBEDC Office, Oke-Ayepe, Osogbo and demanded the money they realised for the company, which later resulted in pandemonium in the area.”
The offences were said to be contrary to Sections 516, 86(2), 249(D) and 351 of the Criminal Code, Cap 34, Vol. II, Laws of Osun State, Nigeria, 2002.
In his ruling, Magistrate Daramola ordered that the defendants be remanded at the Ilesa Correctional Facility.
The matter was adjourned till December 1, 2026, for further hearing.
