A woman, Nifemi Ajayi, has been remanded in prison for allegedly biting a man in the scrotum. The offence occurred in the Ile Ife area of Osun State.
A Magistrates’ Court in the state has ordered that she should be remanded in custody.
The magistrate, Olusola Aluko, ordered the defence counsel to file a written application for bail and ordered the remand of the defendant in Ilesa correctional centre.
The magistrate adjourned the matter until November 15, for bail consideration.
Earlier, the prosecution counsel, Sunday Osanyintuyi, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on August 24, around 8 p.m. at No 21, Oke-Soda, Ile-Ife.
Osanyintuyi said the defendant bit one Olayera Boluwaji on his scrotum and his stomach. He added that the offence contravened the provisions of Section 355 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Osun, 2002.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty.
The defence counsel, Philip Fasanmoye, made an oral bail application.
He prayed the court to admit his client in most liberal terms.
