A housewife, Nkiruka Ibeanu, was yesterday arraigned before the Igbosere Magistrates’ Court for allegedly calling a pastor, Lovelyn Mba, a prostitute and threatening to kill her.
Ibeanu, of Abijo in Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos, was charged before Magistrate B. I. Bakare with threat to life and breach of peace.
Prosecuting Sergeant Innocent Odugbo said there was a disagreement between the women, sometime last December in Ajangbadi, Lagos.
Odugbo alleged that Ibeanu conducted herself in a manner likely to cause breach of peace by calling Mba a prostitute.
He added: “The defendant also sent text messages to the phone of the complainant, saying, she would kill the complainant.”
According to him, the offences contravened Sections 56 and 166 (d) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
Ibeanu pleaded not guilty.
Magistrate Bakare granted her N50,000 bail with two sureties in the like sum. The sureties, he said, must be employed and have verifiable addresses.
