A 28-year-old Mirian Ndubuisi, was on
Tuesday arraigned in an Ikeja Magistrates’
Court, Lagos state, for allegedly biting a co-
tenant’s Scrotum. The accused, living at 18,
Odolowu St., Ijesha, Lagos State, is facing a
two count of conspiracy and aggravated
assault. Punch reports via NAN:
She pleaded not guilty to the
charge preferred against her.
The prosecutor, ASP Eranus
Nnamonu, told the court that the
defendant committed the offence
on October 12 at their
residence. Nnamonu said that a
fight broke out between the two
tenants who had previously been
at loggerheads.
He said the complainant had
alleged that the defendant’s
attempt to eliminate him had
resulted in the death of the
defendant’s son. “A scuffle ensued
between Ndubusi and the
complainant, one Phillip 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 ,”
Nnamonu said. He said that the
offences contravened Sections 171
and 409 of the Criminal Law of
Lagos State, 2011. The News

Section 171 of the law 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,
