The Upper Area Court sitting in Ilorin, the state capital on Tuesday remanded one Fatimoh Musa for allegedly breaking her neighbour’s head with a pestle.
The Police Information Report (FIR) revealed that on 25th October, 2018, one Aminat Muhammed of Irewolede Area Ilorin reported to the CP Monitoring Unit ‘A’ Division that the accused person was washing plate at the back of Aminat Muhammed’s window when the incident happened.
FIR noted that Muhammed asked the accused to leave the window side and also stop washing plates there.
The FIR further revealed that Muhammed replied her by saying ‘You are insulting an old woman, curse will be on your parents’.
The police report stressed that the statement triggered anger between them as Musa suddenly went inside, picked pestle thereby hitting Muhammed on the back of her head.
