A 30-year-old student, Tobi Justice, who

Magistrates’ Court.
According to Prosecutor Joseph Ajebe, the

Aregbesola St., New Oko-Oba, a Lagos
suburb.
Ajebe alleged that the accused beat the
complainant, Amadi Longinus, to a pulp
and cut off his left ear with his teeth.
He said, “The complainant said that Justice
had threatened to deal with him on several
occasions.
“Justice falsely accused the complainant of
spying on him by flashing a torchlight to
see his nakedness while he was bathing.
“This led to a misunderstanding and a fight
ensued between them and in the process,
the accused beat Longinus to a pulp and bit
off the left ear.”
The offences contravened Sections 166 (d),
170 and 244 (a) of the Criminal Laws of
