Ahmed Tairu, 35, has been arraigned before an Oshodi Magistrate’s Court in Lagos allegedly fondling some women’s breasts and buttocks.
The accused, who resides on Brown Street in Oshodi, Lagos, is charged with breach of peace and assault.
The accused committed the offence on May 11 at New Life Hotel on Church Street, Oshodi, the Prosecuting Police Corporal Kehinde Olatunde stated.
As stated by him, the accused assaulted and touched the women’s breasts and buttocks.
“The accused also conducted himself in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace.

“In the process, he tore their uniforms and stabbed one of the guards on the head with a broken bottle and another on his chest,” he stated.
