The 30-year-old man, Tunde Adebiyi, who allegedly attempted to hypnotise and kidnap a toddler, was on Friday arraigned in an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrate’s Court.
Adebiyi had appeared before Chief Magistrate Mr. Tajudeen Elias on a charge for attempted kidnap, which he pleaded ‘not guilty’ to.
The prosecutor, Kehinde Omosakin, told the court that the accused had attempted to kidnap the minor between December 10 and 11 at No. 25, Ojo St., Mushin, a Lagos suburb.

The magistrate admitted the accused to a bail of N500,000, with two responsible sureties in like sum.
