A 38-year-old woman, Temitayo Adefioye, was on Thursday arraigned before an Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, for allegedly threatening to kill her former husband.
Adefioye, whose address was not disclosed, is facing charges of assault, threat to life, and conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace.
The prosecutor, Insp. Olagoke Adegbenro, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on August 13 at Badeku, Ibadan.
He alleged that Adefioye hired thugs to attack her ex-husband, Mr. Akintomide Oladotun, and also brought acid and petrol into his compound with the intention of harming him.
Adegbenro further claimed that the defendant sent multiple threatening messages to her former husband, actions which contravene Sections 351, 86 and 249(d) of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
Presiding magistrate, Mrs. Olasinmibo Sanusi-Zubair, granted Adefioye bail in the sum of ₦100,000 with two sureties in like sum. She ordered that the sureties must be blood relatives of the defendant.
The case was adjourned until December 9 for hearing.
