An Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan, on Monday, ordered the remand of three persons – Ikimat Sanusi, 24; Faruq Isahu, 19; and Mubaraq Oyeniyi, 17- in a correctional facility over alleged rape.
The trio allegedly committed the rape on April 8 at 4.00 p.m. at Orisunbare Village, Ibadan.
They were arraigned on a three-count charge bordering on conspiracy and rape.
The police accused the trio of having carnal knowledge of an 18-year-old lady without her consent.
The alleged offences contravene provisions of Sections 516 and 358 of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
Prosecution counsel, Mr Mustapha Adedeji, prayed the court to remand the defendant pending advice from the state director of public prosecutions.
Justice Oluwaseun Ademola-Salami remanded the defendants at the Agodi correctional facility pending the advice.
She adjourned the case until September 22 for mention. NAN
