MAN DRAGGED TO COURT FOR BITING OFF FRIEND'S LIP OVER BEER IN LAGOS

A man in Lagos has been arrested and taken before a court for
assaulting his friend in a beer parlour.
Chidi Osuagwu, 31, is alleged to have bitten off the lip of one Sunday
Adebayo, his friend, after the latter teased him for refusing to buy a
bottle of beer.
Osuagwu was yesterday arraigned before a Magistrate Court sitting in
the Itire area of the state.
According to Vanguard reports, the accused who resides at 13, Agboola
St., Ijeshatedo, a Lagos suburb, is being tried for assault.
The prosecutor, Inspector Olakunle Shobanire, told the court that the
accused committed the offence on September 25 at 9.00 p.m. at 271,
Ijesha Road in Itire area of Lagos.
Shobanire alleged that Osuagwu was at a beer parlour when the
complainant, Sunday Adebayo, asked him to buy him a bottle of beer,
but he refused.
The complainant jokingly chided the accused for failing to buy him
beer which angered Osuagwu and he immediately assaulted Adebayo by
biting off his upper lip, he said.
The accused entered a plea of not guilty and was granted bail in the
sum of N40, 000 with one surety in like sum.
The Magistrate, Mrs A.O. Gbajumo, adjourned the case to January 13, 2014 .
