A 27-YEAR old suspected cultist, Gabriel Olarenwaju, was arraigned yesterday before an Ikeja magistrate court, for allegedly inflicting body injury on one Kazeem Tiamiyu, by removing four of his teeth.

Olarenwaju, who is facing a one- count charge of unlawful infliction of body injury, is said to be a member of a rival cultist group which carried reprisal attack on its opponent. It was gathered that Olarewaju's colleague was killed during a fight with members of its rival group last month at Ladipo area of Mushin.

The victim, Tiamiyu, who was unable to appear before the court, was said to be receiving treatment as the four teeth that were forcefully removed were giving him serious pain.

The police prosecutor, Assistant Superintendent of Police, Barth Nwaokoeye, told the court the crime was committed at about 4pm that fateful day, explaining that Olarenwaju and Tiamiyu who are members of different cult groups were fighting in the process of which Tiamiyu's four teeth were forcefully pulled off.

Picture of the victim was brought as evidence before the magistrate with a view to asserting the level of the damage done by the accused.

According to him, the offense committed by the defendant is contrary and punishable under section 244 (A) of the criminal laws of Lagos state 2011.

When the charge was read to Olarenwaju, he pleaded not guilty to the charge. Magistrate, A .O Isacc, subsequently granted him bail in the sum of N100, 000, with two sureties in like sum who must be employed and resident in Lagos state. The matter is adjourned to 3 of October 2012, for further trial.
