The courts also ordered them to immediately begin a two-hour community service.

Speaking to NAN, the Coordinator of Mobile Courts, Lagos State Ministry of Justice, Mrs. Arinola Ogbara-Banjoko, said that over 260 persons had been tried by the courts for various violations since the lockdown began in Lagos.

“All apprehended juvenile offenders and persons with special needs were not arraigned before the courts.

“They were over 50 and are not a part of the over 260 persons tried by the mobile courts.

“Deaf and dumb persons were separated because we do not have an interpreter.

“Fines of N10, 000 and community service were handed by the court,” she said.
