A 49-year-old man, Femi Ogunbiyi, was on Tuesday docked in an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly assaulting his wife, Folashade.

The police charged Ogunbiyi, whose address was not given, with assault.

The Prosecution Counsel, ASP Victor Eruada, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on Sept. 26 at 2.00 p.m. at No. 29, Ladipo St., Oko-Oba, Agege, Lagos State.

She adjourned the case until Nov. 12 for mention
