An Iyaganku Magistrates’ court sitting in Ibadan on Thursday ordered one Azeez Salau, 26, to be remanded at the Abolongo correctional facility for allegedly raping a deaf 20-year-old lady.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Salau, 26, a bricklayer and father of one, of Ile Tuntun area, Academy, Ibadan, was arraigned on a one-count of rape.

The Magistrate, Mrs Mercy Amole–Ajimoti, who did not take the defendant’s plea, due to lack of jurisdiction, ordered his remand at Abolongo correctional facility in Oyo town.

Amole-Ajimoti ordered the remand pending the receipt of advise from the Oyo state Directorate of Public Prosecution.

She, however, adjourned the matter till Nov. 30, for mention.
