Olatunde said Sanni allegedly accused the complainant of having an affair with her husband and that she had had series of abortions for him.

The accused and the hired miscreants tore the complainant’s clothes and started stabbing her with knives, bottles and scissors all over her body.

According to the prosecutor, the complainant fainted due to the profuse loss of blood and that if
not for the quick intervention of neighbours who rushed her to the hospital, the complainant would
have been dead.

N30,000 cash, which was to be delivered to her sister, was stolen from her.

The accused pleaded innocence of the offences and was granted bail in the sum of N50,000 with one surety in like sum.

The Magistrate, Aka Bashorun, adjourned the case until September 1.
