A 28-year-old woman, Amaka Okolie, who allegedly slapped her ex-stepmother and destroyed her necklace worth N190, 000 during an argument on Monday appeared in an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court.
Okolie, who lives on No: 4 Taiwo St., Mafoluku in Oshodi, Lagos, is charged with two counts of assault and wilful damage but pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The prosecution alleged that the defendant slapped her ex-stepmother, Mrs Ngozi Okolie, willfully tore her dress and cut her gold necklace valued at N190, 000, during an argument when the complainant refused to leave her father’s apartment.
Police Sgt. Michael Unah told the court that the defendant committed the offence on Feb. 18 about 8. 40 a. m. at her residence. He added that the defendant wanted the complainant, who was once married to her father but still occupied a room in their home to leave but she declined. Read more
