Ms. Oseni explained that the two-count charge read, “Count One: Rashidat Adeleke and others in May 2021 at No. 15 Adebisi Awolola, Ikotun, Lagos did conspire together to commit a felony contrary to section 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015; Count two: the defendant and others at large unlawfully assaulted one Bukola Akinola by beating and pouring hot water on her contrary to section 173 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015”.


She noted that the absence of the defendant in Court on Thursday, 24th of June, 2021, resulted in the arraignment of her 70-year-old surety, Mr. Awoniyi Fatoki, who was earlier detained at CCID, Panti, due to the defendant's absence in court.


The Counsel of the DCR, however, disclosed that with the appearance of Rashidat Adeleke at the recent Court sitting, Magistrate Omobola A. Salau of Yaba Magistrate Court adjourned the commencement of the trial to Monday, 2nd of August, 2021.
