The police on Tuesday arraigned two men and a woman in a Chief Magistrates’ Court in Gwagwalada, FCT, for allegedly fighting in public.

The police charged Hamisu Mohammed,28, Naziru Suleiman,27 and  Lovely Akinbiboye,42, with disturbing the peace.

The Chief Magistrate, Mr Aliyu Shafa,  granted the defendants  bail in the sum of N100,000 each with one surety each in like sum.

Shafa ordered that the sureties must reside within the court’s jurisdiction.

He adjourned the case until April 15 for mention. (NAN)
