A man has been charged to court for stabbing his neighbor with a bottle for playing loud music.
A 33-year-old unemployed man identified as John Ena who stabbed his neighbour with a bottle on her head for playing loud music, was on Wednesday arraigned in Lagos.
Vanguard reports that Ena, a resident of No. 13, Palace Road, Alagbado, Lagos, is being tried for breach of the peace and assault at an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court in Lagos.
The Prosecutor, Sgt. Kehinde Olatunde, told the court that the accused committed the offences on Aug. 2, at his residence.
He said that the accused unlawfully assaulted his neighbour, one Miss Elizabeth Okpaku, by stabbing her with a bottle on her head.
“The accused stabbed the complainant with a bottle on her head for playing loud music.’’ Olatunde said that the accused unlawfully entered the apartment of the complainant to stab and damage her property.
“The accused forcefully entered the complainant’s room and ordered her to reduce the volume of her DVD player, claiming that it was too loud and was disturbing him in his room.
“The complainant refused to comply, saying that the volume was not loud, so the accused forcefully stopped the music by throwing the DVD player outside and also damaged her generator set. “He also descended on her by beating and stabbing her with a bottle.’’
