A housewife, Anita Gilbert, has been arraigned at an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stabbing her neighbour.
Gilbert, 25, allegedly used a broken bottle to stab her neighbour, Damilola Okonji in the head.
The accused, residing at Salami Street in Mafoluku, Oshodi, Lagos, is standing trial on a charge of assault.
Prosecuting Inspector Simeon Inuoha told court that the offence was committed on February 8 at the residence of the accused.
Inuoha said Gilbert and Okonji were fighting over usage of a toilet.
“The accused broke a beer bottle and stabbed the man in his head which caused him to bleed profusely.
“If not for the intervention of other neighbours who rushed the complainant to the hospital, it would have been another story.”

The accused pleaded not guilty.
Chief Magistrate Mrs B. O. Osunsanmi granted the accused N100, 000 bail with two sureties in the like sum.
