In the statement of the police, which was read in court, the defendant confessed to committing the crime, and said, “I had sexual intercourse with the victim in the bush
The victim approached me to take her to her boyfriend’s house, and on our way, I stopped near a bush and raped her. I promised to give her money, which I did not. She then reported me to her mother, which led to my arrest,”
The Chief Magistrate Kolawole Aro, however, ordered that Olorunfemi should be remanded in Olokuta Correctional Centre.
He said the defendant should be kept in custody while the case file is transferred to the DPP for advice, and adjourned the case till October 31, 2024 for review.
