LAGOS — A 28-year-old man, Monday Igbasan, who allegedly brandished a gun publicly, was Thursday charged before a Yaba Magistrates’ Court, Lagos.

Igbasan, who lives at No. 32B, Bello St., Epe, Lagos, was arraigned on a two-count charge of illegal possession of firearms and breach of public peace.

He, however, denied the charges.

But the prosecutor, Inspector Peter Nwangwu, told the court that the accused committed the offences on Aug. 28 at his apartment.

He said the accused with others still at large caused a breach of the peace by displaying live cartridges and a gun publicly.

The Magistrate, Mrs. Motolani Ladipo, granted the accused bail in the sum of N250, 000 with two sureties in like sum.

She adjourned the case to November 11.
