An Ibadan Magistrate Court 3 sitting in Iyaganku, Ibadan, Oyo State on Thursday ordered that a thug, identified as Idris Rasheed popularly known as Kesari, be remanded at Agodi prison, for allegedly raping a niqobite; a Muslim woman in veil.
Muslim News had earlier reported how the suspect on Saturday night led the victim to a secluded area where he perpetrated the evil act.
The suspect who came to court with his father, one of the leaders of the Oyo State Park Management System (PMS), popularly called Al-Majiri, was arraigned on holding charge by Chief Magistrate AA. Ogunkanmi, who said that the court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain such matter.
