Ikeja—An Ikeja High Court has fixed October 23 for judgment in the case of a couple, Elochukwu and Chiamaka Nnajiofor, accused of murdering their 14-year-old housemaid.

Justice Lateefat Okunnu fixed the date, yesterday, after the adoption of the final written addresses by the prosecution and the defence.
The defendants were charged to court on September 22, 2011 on a one-count charge of murder. The accused pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor, Mr. Femi Adamson, claimed that Chiamaka had tortured the housemaid, Oliver Arakwe, to death for allegedly ‘misbehaving.’

Adamson had alleged that the torture took place at 81, Femi Tella St., Ago Palace, Okota, Lagos, where the deceased was residing with the couple.

The prosecutor alleged that the incident had led to Arakwe’s death at EkoHospital, Surulere, Lagos.
