The accused Alimot, was yesterday remanded in prison custody by a Lagos State Magistrates Court in Ogudu, for allegedly poisoning her cousin’s cassava flour also known as fufu.
The Magistrate in charge of the case said Alimont should be remanded in prison pending when she would be sentenced.
Alimot was arraigned on a two-count charge of maliciously administering poison with intent to harm and inflicting wounds.
When the charges were read, the suspect pleaded guilty.
The accused in her defence said her action was retaliatory because her cousin, Mrs Dorcas Kamoru destroyed the foodstuff she was supposed to use in preparing her family’s dinner.
But is that enough reason to poison someone's food?
