Tuesday, July 8, 2025 - One David Abiodun has pleaded guilty before a Federal High Court in Ibadan to kidnapping a 17-year-old student of the University of Ibadan, Divine Ayeni.
Abiodun pleaded guilty on Monday to the two-count charge
bordering on kidnapping instituted against him by the Department of State
Services (DSS).
Consequently, Justice Nkeonye Maha adjourned the suit until
September 23 for presentation of facts and judgment.
Maha also ordered the defendant to be remanded in Agodi
Correctional Centre.
Counsel to DSS, Mr T.A. Nurudeen, had earlier told the court
that the defendant committed the crime between May 19 and June 5, 2024, in
Ibadan.
Nurudeen added that Abiodun committed an illegal act by
abducting the victim, thereby depriving her of liberty.
According to him, the offences contravened the provisions of
sections 24A and 30A of the Terrorism and Prohibition and Prevention Act 2022.
