Woman, 28, narrates how a woman bites off her breast nipple

A 28year-old woman, Hawa Musa, of Kurudu village, on Thursday told a Karu Senior Magistrates’ Court, Abuja, how the nipple of her breast was bitten off by a woman
Musa in her evidence-in-chief said ``I came out of our room that morning to throw away the water I used to wash my face.
``Mistakenly, I threw the water away in front of my neighbour, Anastasia Uche’s, house who came out and started raining insults on me.

``I told her I was sorry and even swept the area where I poured the water. She then attacked me and tore off my cloths, including my bra.
``As I was trying to run for cover, she grabbed me and bit my nipple.
``I was immediately rushed to the hospital where it was discovered that my nipple was missing,’’ she said, adding that after a thorough search, the nipple was not be found.
A medical doctor at a hospital in Gwagwalada said that the affected part required disinfecting as it was already bringing out pus, therefore, surgery could not be carried out till January.
The Counsel to the accused, Mr Michael Ejeh, was not in court and no reason was given for his absence.
Earlier, Prosecutor Pascal Njoku, told the court that the offence contravened Section 241 of the Penal Code
During the first hearing, the accused had pleaded not guilty.
Njoku adjourned the case to Dec. 10, for the defence to open its case.
