An Ikeja Magistrates’ Court on Monday remanded two unemployed men in prison custody for having a toy gun.

The suspects, Toheed Tajudeen, 25, and Segun Jayeola, 27, were charged with conspiracy and unlawful firearm possession.

Magistrate Elizabeth Adeola, who did not take the plea of Tajudeen and Jayeola, ordered that they should be kept at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre, Lagos.

Ms Adeola directed that the case file should be sent to the director of public prosecutions (DPP) for legal advice.

She adjourned the case until September 7 for mention. The police prosecutor Kenrich Nomayo alleged the suspects conspired and had a dummy gun, prohibited by the government.

The prosecutor said the offence contravened sections 312 and 411 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
