Ibadan taxi driver nabbed for attempting to rape corper
The Iyaganku chief magistrates’ court, Ibadan, has ordered that a 37-year-old taxi driver, Ibrahim Ramoni, be remanded in prison custody for robbery and attempted rape.
Chief Magistrate Munirat Giwa-Babalola did not take the suspect’s plea for lack of jurisdiction. She said the remand is pending legal advice from the Oyo Ministry of Justice.
Ms Giwa-Babalola adjourned the matter until March 2 for mention.
The prosecutor, Olufemi Omilana, said Mr Ramoni, at about 8:00 p.m. on January 2, along Ido Road, Railway Station via Omi-Adio, Ibadan, attempted to rape a 29-year-old female corps member.
In a separate charge before the court, Mr Ramoni was accused of stealing a Tecno Spark 8c cell phone worth N85,000 from his victim.
