residence.
While
addressing the court, the Prosecutor said; “During the fight the two
accused persons allegedly fought each other by pouring faeces on
themselves thereby polluting the atmosphere with faeces.
“This
makes it noxious to the health of the general public.” He said that the
accused persons engaged in the fight over the use of toilet in the
compound. It was Godwin that first entered the rest room before
Gbemisola knocked and asked Godwin to come out as she was pressed, later
it led to a fight between them,” he added.
