Wednesday, April 16, 2025 - An Ekiti State Magistrate’s Court, Ado Ekiti District, has remanded a 20-year-old woman, Joy Ikoja, for allegedly inflicting a wound on her boyfriend, Ibrahim Usman's manhood.
Ikoja was arraigned on Tuesday by the police command in
Ekiti State, for unlawfully tearing her boyfriend’s scrotal sac.
The police prosecutor, Inspector Adeboye Adesegun, alleged
that the defendant committed the offence at about 8p.m on April 12 at Irona
area of Ado-Ekiti.
"The defendant did unlawfully inflict a wound on one
Ibrahim Usman by tearing his scrotal sac," the prosecutor said.
"The defendant on the same date, time and place, did
conduct herself in a manner likely to cause the breach of peace in the society.
“The offence committed is punishable under sections 186, 255
256(a) and 181(d) of Criminal Laws of Ekiti State of Nigeria 2021."
The prosecutor urged the court to refuse the defendant’s
bail, saying she might likely jump bail.
But counsel to the defendant, David Ogbede, urged the court
to grant the defendant bail, assuring that she would not jump bail, as she was
presumed innocent under the law.
The Magistrate, Mr Olatomiwa Daramola, in his ruling,
refused bail to the defendant and ordered that she should be remanded at the
Correctional custody in Ado Ekiti.
The magistrate adjourned the case till April 22 for a
hearing.
