Osun court remands woman for allegedly biting neighbour’s private part

By Tobi Adetunji

An Ile-Ife Magistrates’ Court in Osun on Monday ordered that a woman, Nifemi Ajayi, who allegedly bit her neighbour on the scrotum, be remanded.

The police charged Nifemi with assault.

Magistrate Olusola Aluko also ordered the Defence Counsel to file a written application for bail.

Aluko, therefore, ordered the remand of the defendant in Ilesa correctional centre.

The magistrate adjourned the matter until November 15 for bail consideration.

Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Insp. Sunday Osanyintuyi, had told the court that the defendant committed the offence on August 24 around 8p.m. at No 21, Oke-Soda, Ile-Ife.

He added that the offence contravened the provisions of Section 355 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Osun, 2002.

The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty.

The Defence Counsel, Mr. Philip Fasanmoye, made an oral bail application.

He prayed the court to admit his client in most liberal terms.
