The police charged Sani, whose address was not provided, with three counts of criminal force and assault and voluntarily causing harm without provocation.
Earlier, the prosecution counsel, M.M Augustine told the court that one Ibe Ifeanyi of Mug Plaza, Area 1, Garki, Abuja reported the matter.
Augustine alleged that the defendant stabbed Ifeanyi in the buttocks with a knife during an altercation over the noise coming from the defendant’s room, NAN reports.
He said that Ifeanyi sustained grievous injury.
The Prosecutor added that the complainant was immediately rushed to a Police Hospital in Area 1 for medical attention where he is currently undergoing treatment.
