Further to our previous communication regarding the case of a woman who was allegedly beaten by her husband and left in critical condition just days after childbirth, we would like to inform the public that the alleged perpetrator was arraigned on Monday, August 4th, 2025, before Magistrate Mobolaji O. Tanimola of the Lagos State Magistrate Court sitting in Ogba.

The individual was arraigned on a two-count charge bordering on assault occasioning harm and conduct likely to cause breach of peace, contrary to Sections 170 and 168(d) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

The case has been adjourned to August 11th, 2025, and the alleged perpetrator remains in custody as the legal process continues.
