A magistrate court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos State on Tuesday remanded Kingsley Okorocha  for allegedly assaulting a man with a cutlass.

The prosecutor submitted that the defendant inflicted a deep cut on the complainant’s head.

“The defendant attempted to murder the complainant by using the cutlass to inflict a deep cut on his head,” Nomayo said.

The Magistrate adjourned the case until Jan. 13 for mention.
