John, who allegedly chopped off a finger
off the hand of one Mrs Ogochukwu
Aronwu, was yesterday remanded in
prison custody by an Ikeja magistrate's
court pending when his remand warrant
will be brought to court.
The defendant is facing a three count
charge bordering on robbery, infliction of
wound and attempted murder, preferred
against him by the police.
Magiatrate Eniola Fabamwo ordered that
he be remanded after going through the
first count charge.
The Police prosecutor, Inspector Benson
Emuerhi, told the court that the
defendant committed the alleged offence
on February 14, 2014 at about 7:50 p.m.
He said the incident happened along
Murtala Muhammed Airport Road in Ikeja
area of the state.
Okoi said the defendant, while armed
with a knife and other dangerous
weapons, robbed one Mrs Ogochukwu
Aronwu of her hand bag containing some
money and headtie.
The prosecutor also alleged that John
inflicted wound on his victim by cutting
off her left hand, adding that the
defendant with intent to kill his victim,
used a knife to cut off the fourth finger of
her left hand.
However, the defendant, who has no
fixed address, pleaded guilty to the
charges.
The magistrate then adjourned the case
till March 10, 2014.
