She, however, pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutor, ASP Raji Akeem, had earlier informed the court that the defendant committed the offences on July 26, 2023, at her residence.

The prosecutor said that a fight had ensued between the defendant and the complainant, Mrs Bunmi Olunlade, over the cleaning of their compound.

Akeem said that the offences contravened Sections 173 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Bola Osunsanmi, granted the defendant bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum and then adjourned the case until February 22 for mention.
