28-year-old woman bites off another woman's nipple in Abuja

Anastasia Uche, 28, of Kurudu Abuja has been charged arraigned before Karu Magistrate court in Abuja for allegedly biting off the right breast of  Hauwa Musa during a brawl.

The police prosecutor, Cpl. Pascal Njoku, told the court that Anastasia bit Hauwa Musa on the right breast and severed the nipple, thereby causing grievous hurt to Hauwa, an offence that contravenes Section 241 of the Penal Code.

The accused however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Magistrate Christopher Oba however enjoined both parties to explore the possibility of resolving the matter, saying: “Nobody benefits from trouble … I will advise that both parties in this matter should sit down and explore the possibility of resolving this matter,’’ he said.

He, therefore, granted bail to the accused in the sum of N50,000and a surety in the like sum … “The surety must have a reasonable means of livelihood and a traceable address within the jurisdiction of this court,’’ he ruled.

The magistrate adjourned the case to 21 November for hearing, if both parties failed to resolve the matter. (Credit: NAN)
