Man arraigned for allegedly
stabbing trader over N10
cigarette
A 21-year-old businessman,
Ifeanyi Anakwe, on Monday
appeared before an Oshodi
Magistrates’ Court in Lagos. He
was charged with stabbing a
petty trader, Hassan Umaru, with
a broken bottle, over N10
cigarette.
Anakwe, who resides at No. 71,
Salami St., Mafoluku, Oshodi, is
standing trial on a charge of
assault.
The prosecutor, Cpl. Kehinde
Olatunde told the court that the
accused committed the offence
on Jan. 25, on Salami Street,
Mafoluku, Oshodi, Lagos.
He said that the defendant
assaulted Umaru by stabbing him
with a broken bottle on his left
eye, which caused him bodily
harm.
According to the prosecutor,
Anakwe was in the habit of
buying cigarettes from the petty
trader on credit.
“On that fateful day, he came and
took a N10 cigarette and
promised to come back and pay
as usual, but the complainant
insisted on collecting his money
on the spot,” Olatunde said.
The prosecutor said that the
refusal of Umaru prompted
Anakwe to bring out a N1,000
note to pay for the cigarette and
he also demand for his balance.
“But immediately the defendant
collected the balance of N990, he
took to his heels without giving
the complainant the N1,000.
“The complainant chased the
defendant to his house to collect
his N1,000, but upon entering his
room, Anakwe slammed the door
and bolted the lock.
“But the complainant forced open
the door and when he entered,
the defendant beat him up, broke
a beer bottle and stabbed him on
his left eye,” the prosecutor said.
Olatunde said that the offence
contravened Sections 171 of the
Criminal Code, Laws of Lagos
State, 2011.
The defendant, however, pleaded
not guilty to the charge when it
was read to him.
The magistrate, Mr Akeem Fashola,
granted the defendant bail in the
sum of N50,000 with two sureties
in like sum and adjourned the
case to Feb.19. PUNCH

Umaru Hassan should be arrested immediately for attempted burgery
why did he force open a lock door and possibly attack with dagger.

dagger? You need to see an optician. There's no mention of any dagger in the story. The aboki is a petty trader. Do U just expect him to let the thief go like that? You're a fooli*ah tribalist

Btw thought our brothers claimed there are no touts from the other side of the Niger

He is just an average Lagosian, born and bred in Lagos and that automatically makes him an indigene hence the Agboro lifestyle.

The defendant acted wrongly if true since the story is one sided but the plaintiff should have involved the police or better-still, alert his neighbors before breaking into his house.

I see this nonsense happen every day, the way we treat northerners here in the south is appalling, they treated like animals especially by easterners.
@ Biafran zionist or whatever, I pity you.

two wrong does not make a right.
If umaru is responsible and a law
abiding He should report the case
to the police
Ndiigbo ibem we read that
Anakwe denied the allegation.
So it means that Anakwe did not
buy any ciggarrete, neither is he
owning Umaru a dime
That on the said day Umaru
viciously attacked a law abiding
citizen at his home armed with
dangerous weapons
that Anakwe acted in self defense
that infact Umaru was a thief and
caught by Anakwe right in his
apartment during an attempted
murder
that Umaru be arrested for
burgery, arsonism and attempt
murder
that Umaru rushed to the police
to first report the case when he
was caught and beaten up for
burgery

lmao and the guy that set his sister inlaw on fire for pouring water on his dog in the east was also born and brought up in Lagos? The pdp and massob thugs that clashed in ebonyi were all born and brought up in Lagos? Stop stereotyping. It makes U appear dumber by the minute!

ofcourse its common sense we r usin bt he forced d door open doesn't mean he used a dagger to open it. Nd there was nothin lyk umaru tried attackin nd d defendant used self defence. In dis case, d defendant had d intention of inflictin injury on umaru. No more, no less.
