He said the complainant, Mrs Samuel Nwali came to Ketu Police Station in company of her husband to report the incident. According to the prosecutor, the accused had beaten up the complainant's two children.
"The complainant confronted her and the the accused, instead of aplogising to her, descended on her and used a big stick to beat her.
"She also bit her on her right breast, almost cutting off the nipple.," Ihiehie said.
The offence contravened Section 171 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011. The section prescribes three years for assault occasioning harm.
The accused, pleaded guilty to the charge. However, the prosecutor told the court that both parties were ready for out-of-court settlement. Ihiehie said the accused had realised her mistake and had begged the complainant and her husband.
"The complainant and her husband are in court with a withdrawal letter to settle out-of-court." In her ruling, the magistrate struck out the case for out-of-court settlement.
