O Ugwu, the accused persons had on 15th July, 2015, alongside Chime Avenue, New Haven, Enugu, conspired among themselves to attack two enforcement officials of the State’s Ministry of Transport, Eze Michael and Eze Sunday, and thereby committed an offence punishable under section 495 (a) of the Criminal Code Cap 30 Vol. 11 Laws of Enugu State of Nigeria.
They were equally accused of assaulting the officials by giving them blows and throwing stones on them while they were on uniform performing their official duties and thereby committed offence under 259(a) of the Criminal Code Cap 30, Vol 11 Law of Enugu State of Nigeria.
In the third count, they were accused of damaging one official motorcycle, valued at N500,000, property of the State Ministry of Transport.
After the charges were read, all the accused persons pleaded not guilty.
