The prosecutor, Superintendent of Police Agustine Onwuemene, told the court that the defendant committed the offence between November 2013 and August 20, 2014, at about 4pm, at 15 Ruxton road at Ikoyi area of Lagos when she sent a threat text message to Anyaegbu that she was going to eliminate him and his family and that they will go to hell fire for eternity. This offence, according to the prosecutor, is punishable under Section 230 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2011.

In her words: “I told him I was quitting the relationship and ever since then, he has been harassing me. Last December, he took me to Tinubu magistrate’s court, alleging that I stole hisN1.5 million. He told me that the only way he could forget about the matter was for me to continue with the relationship. I only sent him an insulting text message, I never sent him a death threat.On March 15, he sent at least eight thugs to my house and they threw my things and my little boy out. The people in the compound were aware of the incident. He then said he had rented another apartment for me at Ikoyi, which is where I am currently living but I insisted the relationship could not continue. Last Sunday, while I was at home, a Police Inspector came in to my apartment and told me that I was under arrest. The case at the Tinubu court is still ongoing.’’ Magistrate Olagbende granted the defendant bail in the sum of N25,000 and one responsible surety in like sum, while the matter has been adjourned till September 8, 2014 for trial.
