A 28-year-old woman, Mirian
Ndubuisi, was on Tuesday arraigned
in an Ikeja Magistrates' Court,
Lagos, for a vicious assault on a co-
tenant.
The accused, a business woman who
resides at 18, Odolowu St., Ijesha,
Lagos State, is facing a two count of
conspiracy and aggravated assault.
She pleaded not guilty to the charge
preferred against her.
The prosecutor, ASP Eranus
Nnamonu, told the court that the
defendant committed the offence on
October 12 at their residence.
Nnamonu said that a fight broke out
between the two tenants who had
previously been at loggerheads.
He said the complainant had alleged
that the defendant's attempt to
eliminate him had resulted in the
death of the defendant's son.
"A scuffle ensued between Ndubusi
and the complainant, one Phillip
Eze, over his declaration in church
while giving a testimony that the
complainant's son death was as a
result of her intentions toward him.
"During the fight, Ndubusi bit one of
Eze's arms and his scrotum, leaving
deep lacerations there ," Nnamonu
said.
He said that the offences
contravened Sections 171 and 409
of the Criminal Law of Lagos State,
2011.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports
that Section 171 of the law
prescribes that any person who
unlawfully assaults another and
thereby does him harm is guilty of a
felony and is liable to imprisonment
for three years.
The Magistrate, Mrs A.R. Onilogbo,
admitted the defendant to bail in
the sum of N100,000 with two
sureties in like sum and adjourned
the matter to December 11 for
mention.
