A Tinubu Magistrate’s Court sitting in Lagos Island and chaired by Magistrate A.A. Adefulire has ordered that two lovers Emem Asuquo, 31, and Olugbenga Yakubu, 51, be remanded in prison for allegedly disturbing public peace.
The pair were arraigned on four counts of assault and conduct likely to cause breach of public peace when they both engaged in a fight over sex.
According to reports, a fight broke out between the lovers when Asuquo insisted that Yakubu use a condom before having carnal knowledge with her, but Yakubu refused his lovers request.
Recounting the incident, Asuquo said he met Yakubu when he offered to give her a ride along the Lekki-Epe Expressway at about 7pm on July 6 and dropped her at her residence around the Lakowe area in Ibeju-Lekki but not after they both exchanged numbers promising to meet each other later at night.
“Yakubu later came to picked me up around 2am the next day and took me to his house on Adeyinka Oyekan Street, Abraham Adesanya Estate, Ajah.” Asuquo said.
Continuing, the hairdresser said she suspected that Yakubu (a civil servant) got miffed after she told him to put on a condom before they both have s*x.
“On getting to his house, he entertained me after which we went inside his room. He said he wanted me to have sex with him. I told him I would collect N30,000 and he agreed. I asked him to use a condom but he said he did not have one. So, I told him to take me back home in his car,” She said.
The hairdresser said on their way back to her apartment, Yakubu decided to drop her off at the VGC Roundabout citing the fact that he did not have enough fuel in his vehicle.
For the fear of being robbed, Asuquo said she quickly called a taxi driver to come pick her while also asking Yakubu to wait for the taxi driver to arrive before he leaves which he refused.
Asuquo said a fight ensued between them both when she requested that Yakubu wait behind before the taxi driver arrived to come and pick her.
“When he refused, I removed his car key. He was beating me when the taxi driver and two others arrived and they intervened. He injured me in the eye. I also used a stone to smash the windscreen of his car,” she added.
Recounting his part of the story, Yakubu who informed that he later reported the matter to the police said Asuquo called the taxi driver and other occupants to come and beat him up while also claiming that he sustained injuries in the process.
“She followed me to my house, but refused to make love with me after buying her drinks. At a point, she started screaming that I should take her back to her house. When we got to the roundabout, she removed my car key and held my shirt. Two men and a lady she called came in a Golf car and started beating me.
“I held Asuquo by the hair and began punching her while the two men did same to me. In the end, they injured me and broke the windscreen of my car.”

While parading the pair in court,  police prosecutor, Inspector Philip Osijale, told the court that the charges against the pair contravened sections 54, 171, 349 and 409 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
While reading out their charges in part, Osijale said; “That you, Emem Asuquo, and others now at large on July 7, 2016, at about 3.30am at VGC Roundabout, Ajah, in the Lagos Magisterial District, did willfully damage the windscreen of one unregistered Carina E with a stone.
“That you, Olugbenga Yakubu, on the same date, time and place, in the aforementioned magisterial district, did unlawfully assault one Emem Asuquo by hitting her with a fist blow in her left eye, which did her harm, thereby committing an offence punishable under Section 171 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.”
While delivering her judgment, the magistrate, Adefulire, held that they should be kept in prison until they perfect their bail conditions as she admitted Asuquo to bail in the sum of N500,000 with one surety, while Yakubu was admitted to bail in the sum of N200,000 with a surety in like sum.
The pair however pleaded not guilty to the charges leveled against them.
