Lagos socialite charged to court for gifting petrol as party souvenir

A Lagos socialite, Pearl Chidinma Ogbolu aka Erelu Okin, has been charged to court for handing out kegs of petrol as party souvenir to guests.

The party held at the Havilah Events Centre on Lagos Island.

Spokesman of Lagos Police Command, Adekunle Ajisebutu, said Ogbolu was charged to court and arraigned on a four-count charge of conduct likely to cause breach of peace, endangering human life by distributing combustible matter in a public gathering.

Others are intent to do harm to another, unlawful storage and containerizing petroleum product without permit.

Ogbolu appeared before the Special Offences (Mobile) Court of Lagos State at Oshodi under Ikeja Magisterial District.

Ajisebutu did not, however, disclose if the defendant pleaded guilty or not when the charges were read to her.

Lagos Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, had ordered her arrest after the event centre was sealed.
