A 37- year -old auto dealer, Ikechukwu Ogbonna, aka IVD, was on Monday arraigned before a Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja over the alleged manslaughter of his late wife Abimbola, who died in a fire incident at their residence in the Lekki area of the state.
Ikechukwu Ogbonna was arraigned on one count of involuntary manslaughter in suit No LD/21055C/23 preferred against him by the Lagos State Government.
The prosecuting counsel, Adeshola Bello, told the court that there was a mix-up in the date the alleged offence was committed.
“We have on record October 10 but the date was October 12,” Bello said.
He urged the court to grant the prosecution permission to enable them to make an amendment, which the court granted.
Bello said the alleged offence committed contravened Section 229 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
However, Ogbonna who was arraigned before Modupe Nicole-Clay pleaded not guilty to the charge against him.
