A man in Lagos has been arrested by police in the state after reports that he spied on his neighbour while she was ba'thing.
38-year-old Gbenga Olajiga is said to have broken his neighbour’s window so he could see her while she was nak'ed.
The accused was charged for the crime before a Tinubu Magistrate court in the state.
The Eagle Online reports:
Olajiga is facing a two-count charge of malicious damage and possession of Indian hemp.
The
Prosecutor, Corporal Francesca Okere, told the court that the accused
committed the offence on February 8 at about 11pm at Lagasa Street,
Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos. Okere alleged that the accused claimed that he fell
in love with his neighbour, who is a married woman.
She said: “On
the said day, the complainant was taking her bath and the accused could
not hold the temptation anymore. “He took a bamboo stick and broke the
window to catch a better view of her.
“Upon his arrest, the
accused was also found to be in possession of a substance suspected to
be Indian hemp.” Okere said that the offence contravened the provisions
of Sections 348 and 327 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
The
accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges. Following the
plea, the Magistrate, Mrs A.T. Omoyele, admitted the accused to bail in
the sum of N50,000, with two sureties in like sum.
She adjourned the case till March 3 for mention.
