Bride To Be Arrested & Imprisoned For Slapping A Neighbour In Lagos

One week to her wedding in Lagos state, a 33- year- old woman, Olawunmi Oyebode has been arrested and remanded in prison custody at Kirikiri for assault.  Her journey to prison started after she was arraigned before a Magistrates ’ Court sitting in Isolo for the alleged offence.

Oyebode who had concluded plans to contract her wedding allegedly slapped her neighbour, Anthony Onyeka for undisclosed reason at 51, Ijikoyejo street , Ijeshatedo, Lagos where they both reside .

After the alleged assault, Onyeka went to Ijeshatedo police division and reported Oyebode and she was arrested and taken to the station. It is gathered that every attempt by the police to settle the rift failed as Oyebode refused to apologise to Onyeka as advised .  Thereafter the police charged Oyebode to court with assault and when she was arraigned, she pleaded not guilty.

The matter was adjourned till 16 October , 2015.
