For using her teeth as a weapon in a fight to
masticate one Phillip Eze, her co-tenant's testicle, a 28-year-old
business woman, Mirian Ndubuisi, has been dragged to an Ikeja
Magistrates’ Court, Lagos, with two count charges of vicious assault and
conspiracy leveled against her.
According to the
police prosecutor in the case, ASP Erasmus Nnamonu, told the court that
Ndubuisi committed the offence on the 12 of October, 2014, at her
residence, 18, Odolowu Street, Ijesha, Lagos State.
While giving evidence, Nnamonu said that a fight broke out between the two tenants who had previously been at loggerheads.
He
narrated that Eze had alleged in a testimony he gave in his church that
Ndubuisi's attempt to eliminate him had resulted in the death of her
son, which led to the fight when information got to her.
"A
scuffle ensued between Ndubusi and the complainant, 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."
He
said that the offences contravened Sections 171 and 409 of the Criminal
Law of Lagos State, 2011, which 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 Dec. 11 for mention.
