Monsurat is facing a count charge of setting on fire an office complex.
The prosecutor, Olayiwola Rasaki, told the court that the accused committed the offence on November 25 at Ototiki area, Osogbo.
Rasaki said Monsurat set on fire an office complex belonging to one Agbaje Segun.
He said the accused felt threatened when the complainant asked her of money she owes him.
Rasaki said Monsurat was provoked and decided to take laws into her hands.

He said the offence contravened Section 451(1) of the Criminal Code Cap 34, Vol. 11, Laws of Osun, 2003.

The Magistrate, Olubukola Olowolagba, granted the accused bail in the sum of N1 million and two sureties in like sum.
Olowolagba said the sureties must reside within the court jurisdiction with evidence of tax payments and two passport size photographs, attached with an affidavit of means.
