The magistrate court found them guilty of “Breach of Public Peace and illegal collection of money from people with goods,” and Magistrate Oshikoya sentenced the defendants to one month in prison.

In a separate case, the court also convicted 17 defendants for crossing the highway and failing to utilize the designated pedestrian bridges. These individuals were found guilty and received a two-month prison sentence or the option of paying a fine of N7,000.
