The police arrested the Kano-based young lady while trying to book rooms for her guests who came from far and near for her much-publicised birthday bash, Daily Trust reported on Sunday.

JUST IN: Lagos shuts Idera market over dirty condition
The Lagos state government has shut down the Idera Market in the Oshodi-Isolo Local Council Development Area over unsanitary conditions.
Corps Marshal of the Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps, popularly known as KAI, Maj. Olaniyi Olatunbosun (rtd), said ‘the market stinks’.
He said: “We shut Idera market because it stinks. They had probably not cleared the drainages for over one year and everywhere was smelly. So we shut the market based on the commissioner’s directive. And when they are ready to do the proper thing, the market will be reopened. It might take days or weeks, but it has to be clean.

“Though they complained of ineffective PSP operators in clearing their waste, we found out that they most likely don’t even patronise the PSP operators. Besides, Idera is not the only market in the Oshodi area so let them do the right thing by cleaning their space and the market will be reopened.”

The court, presided over by Magistrate M. Mudashiru, did not take the plea of the defendants due to lack of jurisdiction and directed that they be remanded in Abolongo Correctional Facility pending legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP).

The suspects allegedly assaulted four police officers, DSP Festus Fagbohun, ASP Ojo Tolulope, Inspector Sariki Mohammed, and Corporal Tosin Olubode, with bamboo tree branches while unleashing their Pitbull, Rottweiler, and two Eskimo dogs to prevent the lawful arrest of a suspect, Korede Adeoye, who was staying at their house.
The prosecution stated that the offenses are in violation of Sections 332 and 516 of the Criminal Code Laws of Oyo State, which prescribe life imprisonment for the offender if found guilty.
This case has drawn significant attention due to the unusual circumstances surrounding the use of dogs in obstructing law enforcement.
