The defendant, 25, who resides at Alapere in Lagos, is facing a three- count charge bordering on assault and resisting lawful arrest. The Prosecutor, Insp. Lucky Ihiehie, told the court that Sgt. Eucharia Okpa, a Police officer attached to Alapere Police Station, reported the matter on July 3. Ihiehie alleged that on that same date, Chinweba Okonkwo reported the defendant at the station concerning a matter that needed to be settled.“The defendant slapped and tore the shirt of the complainant in the presence of the police officer.“She resisted arrest; refused to follow the officer who came to invite her to the station but instead poured abusive words on her and the Divisional Police Officer of the station,’’ he said.
