Two men on Tuesday appeared before an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stabbing a man on the head with a broken bottle during an argument.

The defendants – Temitope Anifowoshe, 49, a businessman and Tope Sule, 50, a driver, both residing at 28, Egbatedo St., Oko- Oba, Agege, Lagos.

The duo were charged with conspiracy and assault, to which they pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutor, ASP Raji Akeem told the court that the offences were committed on July 8, 2024, at the defendant’s residence.
