A 28-year-old nursing mother, Tina Promise, has been arraigned before an Igbosere Magistrate court on a one-count charge of unlawful assault for inflicting injuries on a woman who she suspects of being her lover's girlfriend.
The mother of three who lives at Molade Okoya
Thomas Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, allegedly
accosted her rival, 22-year-old Esther Onogwu,
on the 6th of February at about 9:20 p.m. as she was returning home from her job at a hotel where she works as a cleaner.
She demanded the younger woman give her the
keys to her home. Esther, unaware of who she
was, asked why she needed her house keys and immediately Tina reportedly brought out a razor and attacked her with it, cutting her on the head and breast.
The prosecutor, Sergeant Francesca Job, relayed
the incident to the court yesterday, revealing that
after Tina inflicted the injuries, witnesses stopped her and demanded that she take the victim to the hospital but she refused, saying she had no
money. The witnesses then took the victim to the
bar beach police station to report the case, from
where she was taken to the hospital.
The presiding Magistrate A.F.O Botoku granted the defendant bail in the sum of N200,000, with one surety in like sum and adjourned the case toMarch 1.
