A 38-year-old man, Ifeanyi Chidubem and his girlfriend, Angela Israel, 24, were on Friday brought before an Ejigbo Magistrates’ Court, for allegedly assaulting a microfinance bank employee.
The defendants, whose residential addresses were not provided, are standing trial on a three-count charge of conspiracy, breach of peace and assault.
The prosecutor, ASP Benedict Aigbokhan, told the court that the defendants committed the offence on December 31, 2022, at 1p.m on Okeimoye Street, Isheri Oshun, Lagos.
He said that the defendants conducted themselves in a manner likely to cause breach of the peace by beating one Miss Charity Edosa, an employee of a microfinance bank.
According to the prosecutor, the defendants, after beating the complainant, took her nude pictures with the intention of posting them on the Internet.
He said that the defendants had beaten the complainant because she demanded payment of the loan they obtained from the bank.
