In a domestic violence case brought before a Lagos court, a man has turned out to be the victim after his partner confessed to have taken out his teeth with a slap.
Abiodun Olajide, 30, also pleaded guilty to inflicting wounds on Augustine Olukukoyi during a fight at their home in Somolu, Lagos State.
The count charge sheet read:
‘That you, Abiodun Olajide, female, on April 18, 2013, at about 8.30 hours at Oguntolu Street, Somolu, Lagos in the Lagos Magisterial District did inflict wound on one Augustine Olukukoyi, male, by slapping him, as a result removed two teeth and thereby committed an offence punishable under section 244(a) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, Nigeria, 2011’.
According to reports, the case which was adjourned until April 29 for judgment at Court 4, Yaba, was cancelled because the magistrate was said to be ill.
