Police Arraigns Man Who Stabbed Customer With ‘Suya’ Knife

30-year-old man, Muhammad Hassan, has been arraigned at an Oredo Magistrate Court for stabbing one of his customers, Emeka Nwoku, with a ‘suya’ knife.

Hassan  was on Wednesday arraigned on a one-count charge of causing bodily harm to the victim on July 29, 2018.

Meanwhile, the presiding Magistrate, Mrs. I.A Osayande, has granted Hassan bail to the sum of N190, 000 and a surety in like sum.

Hearing in the case was adjourned to August 16.
