Two women were charged by the police on Friday before a zonal Chief Magistrates’ Court in New Karu, Nasarawa State, for reportedly fighting on February 14 and hurting themselves.
The charges against the defendants, Alice Odey, 27, and Blessing Onagbulum, 39, who live in New Nyanya, Karu, Nasarawa State, include defamation of character, disturbance of public peace, and causing injury.
But they entered a not guilty plea to the accusation.
Inspector Shehu Ndam, the prosecutor, told the court that on February 14, when the defendants got into a fight and hurt themselves, they were taken into custody and sent to the New Nyanya Police Station.
Odey accused Onagbulum of using “juju” to shrink his privates, while Onagbulum accused Odey of kidnapping her ex-husband. Following a brawl between the two accused, Odey stabbed Onagbulum in the head, jaw, and neck with a broken bottle.
Ndam said in court that “Onagbulum’s 16-year-old daughter picked up a stone and hit Odey in the eye upon seeing Onagbulum on the ground.”
The prosecution pointed out that the offense was against the Penal Code’s sections 113, 139, and 245.
The accused were granted bail of N100,000 apiece, along with one surety in the same amount, by Judge Godiya Bawa. The case was then postponed to March 15th for more consideration.
