Ibrahim Koroka, a security guard, was ordered to be detained at a detention facility on Wednesday by a Dei-Dei Grade area court in Abuja for allegedly hitting a pregnant woman.
The defendant pled not guilty to the police’s charges of employing unlawful force, assault, and causing great bodily harm.
The complainant, Mrs. Joy Chidi, reported at the Dutse Alhaji Police Station on July 27 that she entered a hotel property that was undergoing renovation to sell bread and soft drinks, and that the defendant, a security guard on the property, punched her in the stomach and slapped her.
“The complainant was in severe pain as a result of the defendant’s kick, and she was rushed to the Primary Healthcare Centre (PHC), Kubwa, where she has already spent N7,900 on hospital bills,” he continued.
The case was postponed till August 29 by the judge, Mr. Saminu Suleiman.
