Tiamiyu, a resident of Pako area of Ajegunle, is facing a one-count charge of assault, to which he pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor, Insp Ferdinand Asu, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on Nov. 8 at their residence.
Asu said that the defendant beat Olapade to a pulp and also stabbed him with a broken bottle on the head and left hand.
“The fight started as a result of an argument that ensued between them. The defendant claimed that the complainant was rude to him; so he decided to teach him a lesson by beating him up.
“All efforts made by other tenants in the compound to settle the dispute failed,’’ Asu said.
