Two women, Ogunbiyi Damilola and Temitayo Martins, have landed in trouble in Lagos State for allegedly engaging themselves in serious public fight over a man inside the market. 

 

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened on 8th September, 2024, at Oshodi Market, over an undisclosed matter between them.

 

According to the Police, Damilola first attacked Mr. Martin Rotimi, when she sighted him with Temitayo and tore his shirt. And while Damilola was assaulting him, Temitayo attempted to rescue Rotimi from her.

The action turned into a serious fight between the two women in the market to the extent they were said to have injured themselves in the process.

The Police found them culpable for affray and charged them before the Ogba Magistrate Court for the alleged offence.
