The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty.
The Prosecutor, ASP Kehinde Ajayi, told the court that the defendant committed the offence in November 2020 at Balogun Street, Orile-Agege in Lagos State.
Ajayi said that the defendant threatened the life of Mojisola Taiwo, over a conflicting issue.
He said that Taiwo also conducted himself in a manner likely to cause a breach of the peace by sending a series of abusive text messages to his mother.
“Taiwo was, however, arrested after a thorough investigation,’’ Ajayi said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Section 56 stipulates a one-year jail term for threatening violence.
