A 39-year-old woman, Moji Aderibigbe, accused of removing her clothes and urinating on a church’s altar, has been arraigned in Chief Magistrates’ Court, Yaba, Lagos.
Aderibigbe, who lives in Pedro area in Lagos, on her arraignment on Friday denied charges of insult to a religion and disorderly conduct.
The court heard that the pastor of the Firebrand Power Ministry, Francis Osibowale, caught the defendant’s 15-year-old son vandalising church property.
“When Aderibigbe was told that the pastor had taken her son to the station, she took off her clothes inside the church building.
“She also climbed the altar and began to urinate,” police prosecutor, Modupe Olaluwoye, said.
The prosecutor also said the alleged offence was committed at 8 pm on May 13 at 49, Onabola Street, Ladi-lak area of Bariga, Lagos.
She said the offence contravened the provisions of sections 124 and 168 (a) of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2011.
Chief Magistrate Oluwatoyin Oghere admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum.
Oghere ordered that the sureties must be gainfully employed and must show evidence of three years tax payment to the Lagos State Government.
She adjourned the case until May 22 for mention.
