He submitted that the defendant, who was living with Nwankwo, added the substance into noodles she prepared for her, without her consent.

“The defendant was squatting with the complainant in her mini flat.

“The complainant had told the defendant to leave her house after she noticed that the defendant was always smoking weeds in the room.

“The defendant invited an unwanted guest into the room  and they smoked together. This was  eyesore to the complainant.

“All attempts made by the complainant to prevent the defendant from taking weeds in the house proved abortive.

“This made the defendant to carry out the wicked act,” Unah said.

The Chief Magistrate, Mr A. A. Fashola, granted the defendant N100, 000 bail with one surety in like sum.

Fashola ordered that the surety must must be gainfully employed and have evidence of two years’ tax payment to the Lagos State Government.
