A 51- year-old Lagos woman, Oluchi Okoye, who allegedly inflicted bodily injuries on her 15-year-old housekeeper, on Thursday appeared before an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court.

The defendant who resides at Olukosi Street in Shasha area of Lagos, is facing trial on a two-count charge of assault and threat to life.

She, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge leveled against her by the police.

The Chief Magistrate, Mrs E. Kubeinje, granted her bail in the sum of N100, 000 with two reliable sureties in like sum.

Kubeinje ordered that the sureties should be gainfully employed and should reside within the court’s jurisdiction.

She also ordered that the sureties should present evidence of two years tax payment to the Lagos State Government.

Kibeinje adjourned the case until Aug. 28 for further hearing.
