He added that when the defendant got to the premises of the Assembly, the security operatives at the gate denied him entrance into the House of Assembly.
According to him, the offences contravene Sections 86(1) and 249(D) of the Criminal Code, Laws of Ogun, 2006.
The Chief Magistrate, Mrs. M.O. Osinbajo, admitted the defendant to bail on self-recognisance and adjourned the case till June 1 for trial.
