In Nigeria, a
28-year-old woman, Anastasia Uche of Kurudu, Abuja, has also entered the record
books for biting off a fellow woman’s nipples during an argument
Anastasia has been
charged before the Karu Magistrate court in the suburbs of Nigeria’s capital of
Abuja, according to Nigeria’s News Agency.
The police prosecutor,
Cpl. Pascal Njoku, told the court that Anastasia bit Hauwa Musa on the right
breast and severed the nipple, thereby causing grievous hurt to Hauwa.
Njoku said that the
offence contravened Section 241 of the Penal Code.
The accused pleaded not
guilty and her counsel, Mr Michael Ejeh, applied for bail for her.
Magistrate Christopher
Oba told both the complainant and the accused to explore the possibility of
resolving the matter, saying: “Nobody benefits from trouble.’’
“I will advise that both
parties in this matter should sit down and explore the possibility of resolving
this matter,’’ he said.
He, therefore, granted
bail to the accused in the sum of N50,000, about $330 and a surety in the like
sum.
“The surety must have a
reasonable means of livelihood and a traceable address within the jurisdiction
of this court,’’ he ruled.
The magistrate adjourned
the case to 21 November for hearing, if both parties failed to resolve the
matter.
You wonder what they
will resolve: will the nipple be re-attached Hauwa’s breast?
