An Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Tuesday, ordered the remand of two suspects Adekunle Fatai, 40, and Sabitu Kolapo, 33, in a correctional facility in Ibadan, for allegedly cutting a dead woman’s breast and unlawfully possessing a gun.
The duo whose addresses were not given were charged with conspiracy, interfering with corpse and unlawful possession of firearms.
According to the prosecutor, Inspector Elisha Tellang, the defendants committed the offences on July 13, at about 11.35 p.m, at Gbedun village, Ibadan.
Mr Tellang said the defendants conspired to exhume the body of one late Oyindamola Olosunde and cut off her left breast.
He added that the defendants also possessed a gun without lawful authority.
“The offences contravened Sections 6 (b) and 3 of the Robbery and Firearms Laws of Nigeria, 2004, and sessions 517 and 242(1)(b) of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000”, he concluded.
The Magistrate, Mrs M. Olagbenro did not take the plea of the defendant for want of jurisdiction.
She however directed the police to return the case file to the Director of Public Prosecution for legal advice.
Olagbenro thereafter adjourned the case until October 29, for mention.
