19 persons were found guilty by a mobile court in Benin of improper parking, dropping off passengers in inappropriate locations, driving the wrong way, and other offences.
All of the offenders, according to the State Prosecuting Attorney Ayo Aigbokhiade, were detained and transported to court inside the Benin capital.
A few of them entered not guilty pleas for the driving infraction.
The offenders were ordered by the presiding Chief Magistrate, Prince Mutairu Oare, to pay a N25,000 fine each within two days.
He did, however, issue two additional offenders with warnings and release orders after they pleaded not guilty and successfully argued their cases in court.
According to Oare, the fine was appropriate for non-custodial sentences for offenders.
