Woman who allegedly bits neighbour in his private part, remanded in prison custody

News

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

The police charged Nifemi with assault.

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

Osanyintuyi said that the defendant bit Olayera Boluwaji on his scrotum and also on his stomach.

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 to bail in most liberal terms.

But Magistrate Olusola Aluko 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.
