A High Court in Ikeja, Lagos on Thursday ordered that a 28-year-old caterer, Imoleayo Robinson, who allegedly punched a baker to death during a fight, be remanded in a correctional centre.
Justice Josephine Oyefeso, gave the order after Robinson pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
Justice Oyefeso adjourned the case until March 12 for trial.
Azeez said that the defendant, punched Latifat Salami, to death during a fight.
He said that the victim and the defendant, who were neighbours did not get along and harboured a lot of animosity towards each other.
“Robinson was told by another neighbour that Salami had taken a photo of her without her knowledge while she (Salami) was sitting in the compound making her hair.
“The next morning, the defendant confronted the deceased and there was a heated exchange of words between them which degenerated into a fight.
He said that the offence contravened the provisions of Section 229 of the Criminal Law of Lagos 2015.
