Balogun was found guilty of the charges against him.

The Judge who sentenced the convict on Thursday, August 13 after he pleaded guilty to the charge against him, said he should pay a fine of N50,000 and control traffic at a junction behind the Kwara State Ministry of Physical Planning for three months commencing from August 17 to October 17, 2020.
