“The victim was later rushed to Cottage Hospital, Olorunshogo, Ilorin, where she was admitted for treatment,”
The prosecutor, ASP Zacheus Folorunsho, urged the court to remand the accused in custody pending the completion of police investigation on the matter
In his ruling, Magistrate Ibrahim Dasuki, granted the prosecutor’s application and ordered that Lola should be remanded at Oke-Kura correctional facility in Ilorin, Kwara State.
,,,,,He, therefore, adjourned the matter to March 6, 2023.
