A man, Kabiru Saka, was yesterday arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court for allegedly touching a married woman’s breasts.
Saka, 25, who lives at Alagbado in Lagos State is facing a three-count charge of assault, indecent act and stealing before Magistrate A.K Dosunmi.
Prosecuting Sergeant Dada Wasiu said the defendant committed the offence on Monday at Moshalasi Alagbado, Lagos.
He said Saka unlawfully and indecently assaulted Mrs Faith Ijiogbe by “repeatedly” touching her breasts.
Wasiu said that day, the accused had begged the complainant to give him a carton of canned drinks which accidentally fell off a motorcycle when she was conveying them to her shop.
He said Saka told Mrs Ijiogbe that he wanted to use the canned drinks bike as sacrifice to the gods.
Mrs Ijiogbe, he said, declined his request; put the drinks back inside the carton and gave the carton to her husband.
The accused, the prosecutor said, then started touching Mrs Ijiogbe’s breasts and her husband asked him to stop.
The accused, he said, refused and hit Mr Ijiogbe with a weapon, causing him grievous harm.
According to the prosecutor, the complainant’s phone valued at N35, 000 was stolen in the process.
Saka pleaded not guilty.
Magistrate Dosunmi granted him N100, 000 bail with two sureties in the like sum.
She adjourned till July 23.
Nonsense area boy. His face shows panel beating from several years of bad behavior. Maybe the outcome of this case will make him advise himself. Mchweeew!!!!
lucky say no be army wife u touch like that..story would have been over by now.agbero get boundary
There is no law in this Country otherwise this guy will not even have an opportunity to stand in the courtroom box. There are lot of criminals are out there thinking that Nigeria law is nothing because of the anarchical situation of the Country right now. There is need for us to be more tougher on our law if we want a peaceful nation. Touching a woman’s breast in front of her husband is a death sentence for the accusee in some jurisdiction. Some people are no different from animals and they should treat them like one.
