FOR allegedly killing one Ifeoma Ndidi, a businessman, Kingsley Oshiegbu, was on Wednesday arraigned before an Ikeja High Court.
The unfortunate incidence occurred on April 1, 2015 at 7, Majaro Street, Agege, Lagos.
The accused, who is in his mid-forties, it was gathered, had a misunderstanding with the deceased, which led to exchange of words, which subsequently led to a scuffle.
Oshiegbu, out of annoyance, gave the deceased a fist blow that led to her immediate collapse and later death.
Meanwhile, the accused’s counsel, Shaw Jason, told the court that the defence had filed an application dated March 1, 2015, praying the court to grant bail to the defendant on liberal terms.
“I wish to also notify the court that the defendant has been in prison custody for the past two years,” Jason said.
Justice Hakeem Oshodi, however, adjourned the matter till 26th June, 2017 for ruling and trial.
The offence of manslaughter is contrary to section 222 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2011.
