Lagos - A trader, Tope Akinside, on Friday
appeared in an Ikeja Magistrates' Court, Lagos,
for allegedly beating and bathing her neighbour
with faeces.
Akinside, 36, a resident of No. 14, Unity Street,
Oke-Odo, Lagos, was arraigned on a two-count
charge of breach of peace and assault.
The Prosecutor, Insp. George Nwosu, told the
court that the defendant committed the offences
on Feb. 29 at her residence.
Nwosu said that Akinside unlawfully assaulted her
neighbor, Adunenke Okeowo, by beating and bathing
her with faeces.
``The accused poured excrete on the complainant
face and body,'' he said.
He said that the defendant beat the complainant's
son for playing in her frontage and the
complainant confronted her.
``The complainant went to meet the accused where
she was washing excrete from her baby's napkin to
know why she beat her son.
``An argument ensued between them and the
accused gave her a slap, lifted her up and threw
her on the ground, she started punches her all
over her body.
``She went further to carry the faeces she had
already separated from her baby's napkin and
bathe the complainant with it.
``The accused was still not satisfied, she broke a
bottle and wanted to stab the complainant but for
the quick intervention of neighbour's who came to
rescue the complainant.''
He said that the defendant and the complainant
had been having grudges over the defendant's
refusal to pay her electricity and waste bills.
The offences, Nwosu said, contravened Sections
166 and 171 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State,
2011, which attracts three years jail term on
conviction.
Akinside pleaded innocence of the offences and was
granted bail in the sum of N100,000 with two
sureties in like sum.
The Magistrate, Mr A.A Adesanya, adjourned the
case till April 11 for mention.
