A 26-year-old undergraduate, Olakitan Ogbara, on Wednesday appeared before an Ebute Meta Magistrate’s Court in Lagos for allegedly threatening to kill a 62-year-old woman.

Ogbara, a student of the Lagos State University, was arraigned on a three-count charge of assault, threat to life and breach of the peace.

The prosecutor, Cpl. Ishiaku Babaji, told the court that the undergraduate slapped his relative, Mosunmola Gbajumo, over a family issue in December, 2009 at No. 1, Babani St., Ebute Meta.

Babaji submitted that Ogbara also threatened to send assassins to the woman.

He said the accused conducted himself in a manner likely to cause a breach of the peace.

The accused, however, pleaded not guilty and was granted bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum.

The court adjourned the case till Dec. 9 for further hearing.
