41-year-old welder, Lukmon Kolawole, was yesterday brought before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stabbing a married woman with bottle for fighting his wife.
Kolawole, who lives on Aresanolu Street in Agege, Lagos, is being tried for breach of peace and assault.
Prosecuting Inspector George Nwosu said the accused committed the offence on December 19.
He said the accused assaulted one Mrs Joy Asekharme by beating and stabbing her on the head.
Nwosu said the accused came home and met his wife in a fight with the complainant.
“He came home to meet his wife in a fight with his co-tenant, instead of him to separate the fight, he joined his wife in the fight by punching the complainant all over her body.
“The accused was not satisfied with the punches alone so, he rushed inside to pick a bottle, smashed it on the ground and stabbed the complainant on her head,” he said.
The accused pleaded not guilty. He was granted N50,000 bail with two sureties in the like sum.
Magistrate A. A. Adesanya adjourned the case.
