Victoria Akarigbo, a divorced woman who was jilted
by her husband has been remanded in the Kirikiri prisons for allegedly stabbing
her neighbour, Esther Favour who mocked her over her failed marriage.
According to reports, Victoria who lives with her
parents at 6, Musa Close, Abule Odu, Idimu, a suburb of Lagos State, was sent packing
from her husband’s house but the victim always taunted her over the failed
marriage, leading to an altercation with the accused using a broken bottle to
stab her.
It was gathered that Victoria had a serious
disagreement with her husband and was sent away with her three children. With
no other alternative, she decided to go to her parents house.
Victoria’s stay at her parents’ house was often seen
as degrading by Favour who always made a mockery of her, by calling her an
irresponsible woman.
This angered Victoria who reportedly took a broken
bottle, stabbed her at the back with a serious injury and was rushed to a
hospital for treatment.
The matter was reported to the police at Idimu
division and Victoria was arrested and charged at the Isolo Magistrate’s court,
where she pleaded not guilty.
The presiding Magistrate, Mrs. A.K. Shonubi however,
granted her bail in the sum of N50,000 with one surety in like sum but ordered
that she be remanded in prison custody pending when she will perfect her bail
condition while the case was adjourned till December 14, 2016, for hearing.
