A 47-year-old man, Olawumi Odelanu, was on Friday arraigned before a Grade ‘A’ Customary Court, Ibadan, for allegedly slapping a woman during a minor argument.
Odelanu, whose address was not provided, was charged with assault.
He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The prosecutor, Mr. Philip Amusan, told the court that the defendant allegedly committed the offence on June 5, at the Foodco Shopping Complex in Dugbe, Ibadan.
Amusan alleged that the defendant slapped Mrs. Deborah Ogunjimi on the right side of her cheek during a minor argument.
He said the offence contravened Section 351 of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
The Court President, Mrs. Moji Aworemi, granted the defendant bail in the sum of N250,000 with one reliable surety in like sum.
Aworemu, thereafter, adjourned the case until June 27 for a hearing. (NAN)
