A 25-year-old Nigerian tiler, Ebenezer Makati, who allegedly bit off part of his girlfriend’s two ears, following a lover’s spat, on Tuesday appeared before a Tinubu Magistrates’ Court in Lagos.
Makati, who lives on Marwa Street, Elf Bus Stop, Lekki, is facing a two-count charge of unlawful assault and infliction of grievous bodily harm on his girlfriend, Peace Tunde.
The prosecutor, Sgt. Daniel Ighodalo, told the court that the accused committed the offence on 16 February at the Goshen Estate in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos at 11:00 p.m.
He said that the lovers fought following the absence of Tunde at the residence of the accused on Valentine’s Day.
