    AN Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, on Thursday remanded a 29-year-old man, Kehinde Oyewale, at Agodi Correctional Centre, for allegedly raping a 50-year-old virtually impaired woman.

    Oyewale who resides at Elebu area in Moniya, Ibadan, is facing trial on a count charge of rape preferred against him by the police.

    The prosecutor, Cpl. David Adepoju, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on Nov. 11, at 12.39 p.m., at the defendant’s residence.

    He stated that the defendant had unlawful carnal knowledge of one Ms B. Opeola, without her consent.

    According to the prosecutor, the defendant entered the victims house which is about three houses away from his own to rape the victim.

    He said the offence contravened Section 358 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Oyo State, 2000.

    The plea of the defendant was not taken.

    The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Olabisi Ogunkanmi, did not take the plea due to lack of jurisdiction.
