He said Balogun, an ex-convict, belonged to an unlawful society known as “Eiye confraternity”.
The offence contravened Section 42(1), (a) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Oluyemisi Adelaja, granted the accused a bail of N300,000 with two sureties in like sum, who must be gainfully employed, while the other surety must be living in his own house.

Trump Bashes NFL National Anthem Protesters
Donald Trump says any NFL player who takes a knee during the National Anthem should be fired and referred to them as son's of bitches.
"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'get that son of a bitch off the field now. Out. Out. He's fired!'"
Trump made the comments at a rally in Alabama and though he never mentioned Colin Kaepernick by name it's clear he was referring to the unemployed QB, TMZ claims.
"The only thing you could do better is if you see it, even if it's just one player, leave the stadium. I guarantee things will stop. Things will stop. Just pick up and leave. Pick up and leave. Not the same game anymore." Guessing there are several NFL players already talking about how to respond -- Sunday (today) should be interesting. Lol.

(Photo)70 year old man arrested for raping girl, 6, for three years
A 70-year-old man, Simon Alobu, has been arrested by the Ebonyi State Police Command, for allegedly raping a six-year-old girl in Akpoha Community, Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State over the course of three years.
Saturday PUNCH learnt that the victim, an orphan, has lived with her aunt in Akpoha town since the death of her parents four years ago.
The victim said that the suspect lured her and her younger brother to his apartment. He then asked them to help him to prepare a meal, part of which he told they would also eat.
“After preparing the Garri (eba), my younger brother said that he did not want to eat and left the room. He immediately locked the door and raped me after which he used a razor to make a mark on my buttocks,” the girl said.
The victim’s aunt, Mrs. Martha Enya, explained that Alobu first raped her niece in 2014 when the victim was just three years old without anybody knowing.
She said, “I became aware of the first assault in November 2014 when the victim complained of pains in her private part, I asked her what happened, but she could not speak out. After examining her, I took her to a hospital in Afikpo where the rape was confirmed by doctors and she was given medical treatment.
“He sexually assaulted her again in 2015, 2016 and again this year. All efforts to make my niece disclose his identity failed until I took her to a church located in Enugu in August 2017 where she summoned the courage to disclose that it was Simon Alobu that had been raping her in the last three years.
“I raised the alarm in the village. This prompted the elders, youth and villagers to confront Alobu.
“He then confessed that he had been sleeping with the girl all these years. I reported the case to the Ebonyi State Family Law Centre, which then reported the matter to the police.”
Commenting on the case at the police command headquarters in Abakaliki on Friday, the Police Public Relations Officer, Lovet Odah, said the suspect was in custody at the command, and had confessed to the crime.
The PPRO confirmed that it was true that the suspect used a razor to lacerate the victim’s buttocks. He added that the command was ready to charge the suspect to court.
The Ebonyi State First Lady assured that her office would rehabilitate the victim through her pet project, Family Succour and Upliftment Programme.”
Black Zimbabwean mum gives birth to white daughter leaving doctors baffled
Doctors have been left baffled after a black mother gave birth to a white, blue-eyed daughter - whose skin tone is much lighter than her sisters'.
Four months on, however, this hasn't happened - and medics say they are at a loss to explain why.
The happy 36-year-old mother and her partner Andreas Spillea - who is white - welcomed Andrea to the world in April.
Patience, who is of Zimbabwean heritage, said her baby is turning heads in Hanover, Germany, where the family lives.
The former office worker - who has two much darker skinned daughters from a previous relationship - said of her youngest child:
"I couldn't believe it.
"Her skin was too white when she was born, I was sure it would tone down, which happens sometimes, but it hasn't."It wasn't until a few days after she was born I started to think: 'hold on, her skin was white. I'm her biological mother and I'm black'.
"Every time we go out I get questioned or stopped for photographs.
"I'm running out of things to say to people. She's the centre of attraction."
Doctors say they are equally perplexed - and it was initially feared that Andrea might have a skin disorder.
Patience said: "My doctor was totally surprised. He even tested her for a skin disorder out of concern for how pale she was.She traced her ancestry but said there was no white heritage in her family.
"My friends keep joking that a mother is out there looking for their baby, and one day they will find us."

Kim, Kourtney, Khloe & Kris Jenner 'Sued For $32 m For Failing To Pay Former Marketer Share Of Profits'
The former CEO of a celebrity beauty company is seeking as much as $32 million from the Kardashians over their Kardashian Beauty line.
TMZ reported Thursday that John LaBonty, who headed up Boldface that launched the line, alleges Kim, Khloe and Kourtney along with momager Kris Jenner failed to pay him an agreed five percent share of profits from their beauty products.
The reality TV family had a deal with Boldface to market the beauty products and although the company was acquired by another company in 2014, Labonty says he's still entitled to millions of dollars in profits.
In 2016, Hillair sued the reality stars for breach of contract, fraud, deceit, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and negligent misrepresentation.
The firm said the Kardashians and Jenner had reneged on an agreement to promote the line on their social media platforms to their millions of followers and sued for $180 million, ET reported at the time.
'After acting in good faith for over a year and a half to support and finance the venture with the Kardashians while the Kardashians did nothing but undermine it, Hillair was finally left with no choice but to bring this action,' the suit stated.
An attorney for Kim Kardashian told ET in response: 'The lawsuit is a disgrace. It is a jumble of false accusations which will be exposed as lies.'

LASG asks CP to produce cobbler detained for years
The Office of the Public Defender, Lagos State Ministry of Justice, has asked the state High Court to prevail on the state police command to produce a cobbler, Shakoor Zaid.
Zaid has been in the custody of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the command in Ikeja for over two years without being allowed access to his mother and relatives or charged to court.
The OPD, in a suit filed before the Lagos State High Court on behalf of Shakoor sought an order compelling the Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, to “unconditionally” admit him to bail.
PUNCH Metro had reported that the 33-year-old was arrested on April 17, 2015, in his residence on Afolabi Alasia Street, Ijora Badia, by SARS operatives who raided the area after a fight. The police accused him of participating in the fight.
In the March 22, 2017, report, Shakoor’s mother, Jumoke Zaid, explained how one Sergeant Godwin Ogedengbe, the Investigating Police Officer, and his colleagues, prevented her from seeing her son.
She alleged that the operatives collected N2,000 from her each time he visited the SARS office in anticipation of speaking with Shakoor.
Jumoke had said,
“Shakoor was arrested inside his apartment. His brother and I went to the SARS office in Ikeja. We met one policeman, Ade, aka Bullet. He said Ogedengbe was investigating the case and that guns and cutlasses were recovered from the scene of the fight. Bullet said somebody told them to waste Shakoor.However, the uncle had denied instigating Shakoor’s arrest.
“I went there several times, but they didn’t allow me to see him. Relatives of other suspects arrested with Shakoor were allowed to see them. Each time I went there, I paid N2,000 for his feeding. At a point, they stopped collecting money from me.
“On June 26, 2015, the six other persons were arraigned in court. I asked Ogedengbe why my son was not arraigned, but he did not give me any answer. At a point, he started avoiding me. He told me to meet his uncle, Mr. Rilwan Zaid, if I wanted my son to be freed.”
After failed attempts to see her son, the woman said he had petitioned the OPD in 2016 and a lawyer was assigned to handle the case. She, however, said the lawyer was indifferent to the matter.
It was gathered that the OPD invited Jumoke after The PUNCH’s report and another lawyer, O. A. Azeez, was assigned to handle the matter.

Do not compare us to terrorist organization called the Fulani Herdsmen-IPOB
Leader of the Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) Uchenna Madu has condemned statement by presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, that Fulani herdsmen are criminals while IPOB members are terrorists.
Madu said
“Since Buhari’s media aide will eloquently and comfortably declare that Fulani herdsmen which the United Nations in their official gazette declared as the fourth world deadliest terrorist organization as an innocent group, it shows the high level of Buhari’s plan to forcefully islamize Nigeria.
“It also a proof that Hausa Fulani people are more determined in collaboration with some Judases of Biafra land to intimidate the people of Biafra with fear and jittery.
“MASSOB wish to remind the Arewa people that none of their plans or antics to subject the people of Biafra will ever work because our determination and consistency for Biafra actualization and restoration can never be shaken or derailed.
“Our resolve and consciousness for Biafra actualization and restoration is rooted firmly in the Almighty God ‘Chukwu Okike Abiama’ and our abilities of never say die.
“We still insists that IPOB is not a terrorist organization and can never be compared with world fourth deadliest terrorist organization called Fulani herdsmen”
