A 32-year-old woman has been arrested and
charged before Isolo Magistrates’ Court for
allegedly biting her friend’s lower lip during a
fight at Canal Extension, off Itanola Drive, Ajao
Estate, Lagos.
According to PM newspaper, the victim, Ada Joy
Samuel, lost a part of her lower lip after she
engaged Ejiofor Chioma in a street fight over
allegation by Chioma that Ada was spreading
gossip with her name.
Trouble started after Chioma, a mother of four
whose husband had relocated to their village in
Umuahia, Abia State, accused Ada of gossiping
with her name to the neighbours.
This caused a disagreement between Chioma and
Ada that eventually resulted in both fighting in
public.
During the fight, Chioma allegedly grabbed Ada
and bit off part of her lower lip which fell on the
ground.
Ada started bleeding profusely and was rushed to
a hospital, while Chioma was arrested and taken
to the Police Station at Ajao Division and later
charged to court with wounding under the
Criminal Code.
When she was arraigned, she pleaded not guilty
and the presiding Magistrate, Mrs Y. R. Pinheiro
granted Chioma bail in the sum of N20,000 with
one surety in like sum..
The prosecutor, Inspector A. Abasss did not
object to her bail but asked the court to take
judicial notice of the seriousness of the injury
sustained by Ada.
She was remanded in prison custody pending
when she would meet the bail condition and the
matter was adjourned.
