Debbie Mike,
a 23-year-old lady, who allegedly assaulted her ex-boyfriend with electrical
iron, was on Monday brought before an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates’
Court,
Lagos.
The jealous
lover had assaulted Lanre Adewole, her former lover, with the iron during a
fight.
The accused
is facing a charge of assault to which she has pleaded not guilty.
Earlier,
Sgt. Kehinde Olatunde told the court that the accused committed the offence on
May 5 at No, 3a, Sadiku St., Sari-Iganmu in Orile on the Lagos-Badagry
Expressway.
“There was a
misunderstanding between Debbie and Adewole, her landlord’s son. The accused
had complained to Adewole about the leaking roof in her room, but the ex-lover
ignored her.
“A fight
ensued and Debbie picked an iron and hit Adewole on the forehead and injured
him.”
The offence
contravened Section 173 of the Criminal law of Lagos State, 2015 which
prescribes three years jail term for offenders.
Magistrate
Bola Folarin-Williams admitted the accused to a bail of N20,000 with one
surety.
The case has
been adjourned until May 11 for trial.
