Oluwatimilehin Afolabi (19) and Kehinde Mustapha (19) have been detained in a detention center by an Ekiti State Chief Magistrate’s Court in Ado Ekiti for allegedly attempting to murder a 23-year-old lady. They were charged with attempted murder on one count.
“The defendants conspired and attempted to murder one 23-year-old Blessing on February 2, 2022, in Ikere Ekiti, contrary to sections 516 and 320 of the Criminal Code, Cap. C16, Laws of Ekiti State, 2012,” according to the complaint.
“I am a commercial sex worker at a brothel in Ikere Ekiti, and Oluwatimilehin is my customer,” the victim stated to the police in her statement. He called me around 8.55 p.m. on that day, asking me to meet him along Ise Ekiti Road in Ikere Ekiti.
“When I arrived, I met up with him as planned.” Timilehin suddenly moved back and grabbed my neck from behind while we were walking together. He choked me to death until I passed out. Blood was streaming out of my mouth when I regained consciousness after a while. Some kind strangers came to my aid. Timilehin was apprehended afterwards, and he referred to Kehinde as his herbalist.”
Inspector Oriyomi Akinwale, the police prosecutor, requested that the two offenders be remanded in custody.
“By remanding them, the police will be able to conclude their investigation and transmit the duplicate case file to the Director of Public Prosecutions for legal guidance,” he explained.
“The first and second defendants are to be transported to the Nigerian Correctional Centre, Ado Ekiti, and remanded there for a term of 30 days,” the Chief Magistrate, Bankole Oluwasanmi, said in his judgement. Oluwasanmi postponed the hearing till March 10th.
