A Grade I Area Court in Mpape, Abuja, ordered that a man who allegedly stabbed a neighbour in the buttocks, Mohammed Sani, be remanded in a correctional centre.
The police charged Sani, whose address was not provided, with three counts of criminal force and assault and voluntarily causing hurt without provocation.
The Judge, Mr Salihu Ibrahim, ordered that Sani be remanded, pending the outcome of the police investigation.
He adjourned the case until August 24 for hearing.
Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, M.M Augustine told the court that one Ibe Ifeanyi of Mug Plaza, Area 1, Garki, Abuja reported the matter.
Augustine alleged that the defendant stabbed Ifeanyi in the buttocks with a knife during an altercation over the noise coming from the defendant’s room.
He said that Ifeanyi sustained grievous injury.
The prosecutor said the complainant was rushed to the Police Hospital in Area 1 for medical attention where he is receiving treatment.
The offence, he said, contravened the provisions of sections 265 and 246 of the Penal Code.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty.
