Police in Lagos have preferred two counts of
assault against a 48-year-old woman, Mrs. Okah
Lanre, for stabbing a tenant of her ex-husband.
Lanre, who was arraigned before an Apapa
Magistrate’s Court, Lagos State, reportedly
committed the offence at about 10pm on
February 6, 2015.
PUNCH Metro gathered that Lanre had gone to
the ex-husband’s house on Amore Street, Olodi
Apapa, to look for her son, one Victor. Victor
was said to have been missing on the fateful
day.
While searching through the compound, she was
said to have shone the torch she was holding on
the tenant, Mrs. Chinyere Onyekwere, who was
reportedly sleeping on a mat outside.
Our correspondent learnt that an argument
ensued after Onyekwere complained about the
act.
Lanre reportedly went for a cutlass on the
premises and hacked her in the jaw region.
The victim’s cry was said to have drawn the
attention of her neighbours, who rushed her to a
hospital.
It was learnt that the suspect was arrested
after the incident was reported to the Tolu
Police Station.
Prior to the incident, our correspondent
gathered that Lanre had been tough on the
tenants in the compound, which partly led to a
divorce between her and the landlord.
A prosecutor, Olusoji Ojaokomo, arraigned her
on Monday before the magistrate, P.A.
Adekomaya, on two counts bordering on assault
and conduct likely to cause breach of the
peace.
The charges read, “That you, Okah Lanre, 48, on
February 6, 2015, at about 10.10pm, on Amore
Street ,Olodi Apapa, in the Apapa Magisterial
District, did unlawfully conduct yourself in a
manner likely to cause breach of peace by
entering into the compound of one Chinyere
Onyekwere and thereby committed an offence
contrary to and punishable under Section 166 (I)
(D) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State of
Nigeria, 2011.
“That you, Okah Lanre, on the same date, time
and place, in the aforesaid magisterial district,
did unlawfully assault one Chinyere Onyekwere
with a cutlass which caused her harm on her
lower jaw and thereby committed an offence
punishable under Section 171 of the Criminal
Law of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2011.”
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to
the offences.
Adekomaya granted her bail in the sum of
N30,000 with two sureties in like sum.
The case was adjourned till March 23, 2015 for
mention.
