Chinese Lovers Exchange Blows in Court While Standing Trial for Arson

The courtroom became the scene of a Chinese action movie when Chinese lovers- Zhen Zhen, female (47) and Leo Jian Feng, male (41) exchanged blows upon seeing each other after they were arrested for arson. It took police intervention to stop them.


The duo who reportedly burnt part of Ernest Hotel, Ikeja where they lodged on 04 July, engaged in a fist fight after police removed their handcuffs at the Ebute-Meta Magistrate Court on Wednesday where they were arraigned.

The lovers reportedly set the hotel on fire while smoking cigarettes despite warning from a hotel attendant that smoking was prohibited there. They were arrested after firefighters of the Lagos State Fire Service put out the inferno which razed part of the building to the ground.

Their 2-count arson charge reads in part:
“That you, Zhen Zhen and Leo Jian Feng, both Chinese, on July 5, 2016, at about 2am at Bamishele Street, off Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos, in the Lagos Magisterial District, did conspire among yourselves to commit felony to wit: arson. 
“That you did willfully and unlawfully set fire to burn part of the Ernest Hotel on Bamishele Street, off Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos, valued at N17,864,900, property of one Ernest Uwanyerem,” Punch reports. 
The defendants speaking through an interpreter, pleaded not guilty to the charge; Feng and Zhen both denied smoking in the facility. Feng noted that he was not around when the hotel got burnt while Zhen stated that she awoke from sleep to discover that the hotel was on fire and ran for her life.

The prosecutor called a representative of the hotel, Muhammed Shubero to testify.
“Around 2am on July 5, one of the hotel attendants smelt cigarette from their room. She went there and warned them that smoking was prohibited in that arena. However, they ignored her. 
“In the morning, the attendant and a security guard called me that the hotel was on fire. By the time I got there, there was nothing left of the hotel.”
The magistrate, Ope-Agbe, granted the defendants bail in the sum of N2m each with two sureties each in like sum.

The case was adjourned till July 22, 2016, for mention.

Slavery: See How White Slave Traders Dehumanised Naked Black Slave Women

Image
Sexual assault of black female folks was paramount during the slave trade era as perpetrated by white people who degraded their Africans to assets rather than human beings.  Sexual assaults of female black slaves by white male plantation owners, their sons, brothers and other male acquaintances were heartlessly perpetrated unhindered in the 15th and 19th centuries before its abolition. Black women were technically degraded to objects for hard work and pleasure with no real value attached to their feelings. History recorded that black women were raped and dehumanized without fear of punishment. The reasons of their white owners couldn't be justified as they smelt of share hatred and xenophobia for their skin colour. Black men were also sexually abused by slaveholders, and sometimes, their wives were not spared from the ill-treatment as they worked tirelessly on farmlands with stipends that amounted to virtually nothing. The slave trade refers to the transatlantic tradi...
