Chigozie Chukwu and his cut ear

A 60-year-old woman, Kehinde Adeniyi, has been arrested and arraigned before an Isolo Magistrates’ Court sitting in Lagos State, for allegedly cutting off the ear of her neighbour, Chigozie Chukwu, with a table knife.

In the report carried by PM News, the victim's wife, Anita, had a disagreement with Adeniyi, a single mother with grown up children, at their 24, Mohammed Sefiu street, Ago Palace Way, Okota, residence, and when he tried to intervene, she attacked him and cut off his right ear.

According to the report, Adeniyi, an indigene of Ijebu in Ogun State, and Anita had been at logger heads for a while after Anita allegedly called her a prostitute during a quarrel because she was single mother with children.

The name calling did not go down well with Adeniyi who planned to confront Anita on that fateful day and when she did not locate her, she transferred her aggression to her husband.

She reportedly attacked the victim from behind with the knife, leaving his ear dangling and bleeding profusely.

The matter was reported to the police and Adeniyi was arrested and taken to court for the alleged offence, where she was charged with inflicting bodily injury on Chukwu.

When the charge was read to her, Adeniyi pleaded not guilty and the presiding Magistrate, Mrs O. A. Adedayo, granted her bail in the sum of N50,000.
