On Thursday, a 32-year-old man, identified as, Obed Fwoms
was arraigned before Ikeja Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stabbing his
neighbour, Emeka Ofoke, on his manhood.
Fwoms is standing trial on a charge of wounding and similar
acts. The prosecutor, Inspector Nwosu George, told the court that the accused
committed the offence on November 17 at his residence.
He said Ofoke had challenged Fwoms for breaking the ceiling
of their residence to connect electricity without informing other neighbours.
An argument ensued and Fwoms brought out a knife and stabbed Ofoke.
Magistrate M. O. Osinbajo granted the accused N100,000 bail
with two sureties, who must be gainfully employed and show evidence of two
years tax payment to the Lagos State Government.
Magistrate Osinbajo then fixed hearing for December 19.
