Mariam Amos, a 30 -year-old trader, was on Thursday brought before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court for allegedly inflicting life threatening injuries on her landlady with a razor.

The Prosecutor, ASP Ezekiel Ayorinde, said the accused committed the offence on June 12 at Alakuko, Lagos.

He said that the accused, inflicted deep cuts on the body of her landlady, Mrs Tolani Sholanke because she gave her a quit notice.

Ayorinde told the court that Sholanke gave the accused a quit notice over her troublesome behaviour with co-tenants in the compound.

He said Sholanke reported the case and the accused was apprehended.

The offence, he said, contravened Section 246 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015(Revised).

If convicted, Amos is liable to three years in prisons.

Amos, who resides at Alakuko, Lagos, however, pleaded not guilty to the offence.

Magistrate B.O Osunsanmi, admitted the accused to bail in the sum of N50, 000 with two sureties in like sum.

She ordered that the sureties must be gainfully employed and show evidence of two years tax payment to the Lagos State Government.

Osunsanmi adjourned the case until July 18 for mention.
