Saheed Adedokun, 43, was remanded in a correctional facility by an Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court in Ibadan on Friday for allegedly rapping his neighbor.
Adedokun was charged with rape by the police.
Chief Magistrate Emmanuel Idowu dismissed Adedokun’s argument of lack of jurisdiction and ordered that he be held at the Abolongo Correctional Facility in Oyo Town.
Idowu directed the police to return the case file to the Oyo State Director of Public Prosecution ( DPP) for legal advice.
He adjourned the matter until Aug. 8 for mention.
Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Insp Iyabo Oladoyin, told the court that Adedokun on June 4 raped his 24-year-old neighbor.
Oladoyin said Adedokun tied her hands and gagged.
She said the offence contravened the provisions of Section 357 and was punishable under Section 358 of the Criminal Code Laws of Oyo State 2000.
