From Edo State comes a report that a 38-year-old woman, Monica Edosa, was on Wednesday (November 2, 2011), arraigned before a Customary Court sitting in the Idogbo area of the state for allegedly biting off her neighbour’s nose. The prosecutor, Benson Agu, said the accused had, on the 16th of October, 2011, at Osaiwede Street, Upper Sakponba Road, Benin, bitten off part of Joy Okunrobo’s nose during a ‘fight’.

Although the accused, Monica Edosa, pleaded...

not guilty to the charges, the prosecutor applied for an adjournment to enable both parties resolve the case out of court. This was because the father of the victim, Roland Osakue and the husband of the accused, Okunrobo Edosa, had indicated interest in out-of-court settlement.

After listening to the submissions of all the parties, the judge, Esther Eweka, granted bail to the accused in the sum of N50,000 with one surety in like sum. She then adjourned the case till 15 November for further briefing on the progress of the out of court settlement... But na for some women o, they can biteee!
