CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A jilted man, Olorunwa Ogundare has vented his anger on his estranged lover, Shade Taiwo by using a broken bottle to damage one of her eyes in Lagos.

The incident happened at Ipodo Street in Ikeja, Lagos where they resided.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that the victim’s left eye was forcefully plucked out with the bottle, which had partially blinded her as doctors said she cannot see with the eye again.

Police sources said the victim and the suspect were lovers until recently when they had disagreement and Taiwo left Ogundare for another person.

However, her decision did not go down well with Ogundare who had earlier vowed that he will deal with her. But the victim did not know he had planned to blind her.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that on the day the incident happened, they had little disagreement and Ogundare did not waste time before he picked a bottle, broke it, stabbed her on the eye and drew it out. She was then taken to a hospital where it was confirmed that the eye was badly damaged.

The matter was reported to the police and Ogundare was later arrested and charged to court.

He was charged before Ikeja Magistrates court for the alleged offence.

He pleaded not guilty.

The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. B.O. Osunsanmi granted him bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum.
He was remanded in prison custody pending when he will perfect his bail condition.
The matter was adjourned till 31 May, 2018.
