He subsequently took possession of the parcel of land at No 2, Osilaja Street, Opebi- Oregun link road, Lagos, belonging to Oderinde.
If convicted, Adesegun risks a two-year jail term.
Today at the court, Magistrate M.O. Tanimola admitted the defendant to bail and adjourned the matter till May 17, May 20 and May 27 for accelerated hearing.
