A 65-year-old man, Johnson Akindehinde, and his son, Olusegun, 35, were on Friday arraigned in an Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, for allegedly biting off a neighbour’s earlobe. They were arraigned on a two-count charge of conspiracy and grievous harm.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Akindehindes are neighbours to the complainant, Kemi Olaitan;
and they had an argument with the accused over a heap of sand. Father
and son quarreled with the complainant when she asked them to stop
scooping sand from the front of her house.
The prosecutor, Folake Ewe,
told the court that father and son allegedly committed the offence on
May 7, at about 7. 30 a.m. at Aba Opa village, Odo-Ona kekere, Ibadan.
