Wonders shall never end. This report is according to
Vanguard Newspaper. Do read it guys, cus after reading it, I was left perplexed!
Don’t even know what to say.
A 33-year-old applicant, Chineye Chinwuba, has alleged that
her attempt to terminate the love affair she had with the Chief Executive
Officer of Chisco Transport Limited, Chidi Anyaegbu, was what led to her being
charged before an Igbosere magistrate’s court for threatening the transporter’s
life.
The defendant, who is facing a one-count charge preferred
against her by the police, was docked before Magistrate Nike Olagbende.
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.
He said that she sent a threat text message to one Chief
Chidi Anyaegbu, Chief Executive Officer of Chisco Transport Limited, that she
was going to eliminate him and his family and that they will go to hell fire
for eternity.
According to the prosecutor, the offence is punishable under
Section 230 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2011.
Earlier, the defendant had pleaded not guilty to the one
count charge against her.
Her counsel, Amaka Nwafor, urged the court to grant the
defendant bail in the most liberal term, adding that the matter is just an
allegation until the suspect is proven guilty.
The prosecutor said he was not going to oppose the bail
application, adding that he has two witnesses in court, saying although the
complainant was not in court, there was a representative from his company.
Nwafor, however, told the magistrate that the matter could
not be conducted in proxy, that the complaint has to be in court too.
The defendant also told the open court that it was Anyaegbu
who brought her to Lagos from Onitsha in Anambra State on August 5, 2012.
She said Anyaegbu was her lover and that they started dating
immediately she got to Lagos, adding that their initial agreement was for him
to help her get a job which he promised but failed to do.
According to her, the two started having an affair in 2012,
which made the Chisco boss to give her a two-room apartment in one of his
houses in Lekki.
She said: “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 his N1.5 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.
She adjourned the matter till September 8, 2014 for trial.
