In a suit with charge number MI/395c/16, the couple was charged with conspiracy, giving false information to the police and conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace. The prosecuting team consisted of the officer in charge of the Legal Department of the Oyo State Police Command, DSP Funke Fawole and three other counsel while the first defendant was represented by Barrister Kazeem Gbadamosi and other lawyers and the second defendant by Barrister A. Olagunju and others. When the charges were read to the accused in the language they understood, they pleaded not guilty. The defence counsel applied that the defendants be released on liberal terms such as self recognition, but in opposing the application, the prosecution counsel urged the court to give a stringent bail condition that would not allow the accused persons to jump bail. They also said that the police be allowed to verify the residences of the sureties. Presiding Chief Magistrate, A.F. Richards, ruled in favour of the prosecution and ordered that the two defendants be released on bail with two sureties each and N100,000 in like sum. The Chief Magistrate said that one of the sureties must be a relation of the accused persons while the second one must be a person with valid international passport, with a police officer attached to the court to verify the residence of the sureties. Both defendants were, however, remanded in prison custody as they could not fulfil the bail conditions on Friday. The case was adjourned till March 30. It is recalled that Mrs Adegbite had alleged in a petition that she was brutally assaulted at Akobo police station on August 11, 2015, resulting in her losing a four-month pregnancy, with the claim that the pregnancy was her first since she got married. She was reportedly taken to a private hospital for initial treatment when she complained of bleeding and was later taken to State Hospital, Yemetu, Adeoyo, Ibadan for further treatment. But Sunday Tribune learnt that the medical report from the State Hospital indicated that Mrs Adegbite has two children who are alive and that there was nothing in her uterus to show a recent loss of pregnancy. This, the police said, formed the basis for her re-arrest and second arraignment. Mrs Adegbite had earlier been arraigned at Chief Magistrate’s Court 1, Iwo Road on August 20, 2015, in case with suit number MNE/82c/2015 on a two-count charge of assaulting two police officials, Corporal Adeleke Adekunle and Woman Police Constable Bunmi Borisanmi on August 11, 2015. The Chief Magistrate, Mrs. N.A.J, Ogunbona had granted her bail in the sum of N10,000 and one surety in like sum. The case, which had been adjourned several times, would come up for definite hearing on April 6, 2016.]]>
