The police charged Ms Taiwo, a hairdresser, with assault and causing a breach of peace.

Mr Oke told the court that the woman committed the offence at the police station where her son was detained.

He said that an argument ensued between the defendant and a sergeant, Ameh Elijah.

The offence, he said, contravened the provisions of sections 168 and 170 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Mr Odukoya adjourned the case until November 3 for trial.
