Ajah, 24, resident at No. 1 Oshinaga St., Oke-Ira, Ogba, Lagos, is facing two counts bordering on assault.
The prosecutor alleged that the defendant assaulted one Mrs. Franca Enweke by pushing her, following unresolved differences, resulting to her sustaining bruises on her right fingers.
He said the defendant conducted himself in a manner likely to cause breach of peace by violently threatening the complainant.
According to the prosecutor, the defendant blocked the complainant’s entrance, thereby preventing her from entering her house with her car.

The offences contravened the provisions of Sections 173 and 168 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2015, (Revised)
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Section 173 stipulates three-year imprisonment for offenders.
The Chief Magistrate, Mr. A. A. Fashola, granted the accused bail in the sum of N50,000, with one surety in like sum.
Fashola said the surety must be gainfully employed, with an evidence of two-year tax payment to the Lagos State Government and have his address verified by the court.
He adjourned the case until February 18 for mention.
