A Cherubim and Seraphim prophetess, 41-year-old Sola Ajayi, who
allegedly stole a Canadian-breed life turkey valued at N30, 000, is to
remain behind bars, an Ile Ife Magistrates’ Court in Osun ruled on
Monday.
Ajayi was ordered to be kept in prison custody over his inability
to perfect her bail. Chief Magistrate Olalekan Ijiyode had granted her
bail in the sum of N30, 000 with one surety in like sum.
Ijiyode added that the surety must be a civil servant and should
also reside within the court’s jurisdiction. No civil servant showed up
to stand surety for her and the magistrate remanded the prophetess in
prison custody until the bail condition was met.
The accused was arraigned on a charge of stealing to which she pleaded not guilty.
The Prosecutor, Sgt. Sunday Osanyintuyi, told the court that the
accused committed the offence on Oct. 16 at about 4.00 p.m. at Iloromu
Quarters, Mokuro, Ile Ife. Osanyintuyi said the accused stole the life
turkey valued at N30, 000, property of a woman, Khadijat Lamidi.
The offence contravened Section 390 of the Criminal Code, Laws of
Osun, 2002. Counsel to the accused, Mr. Olalekan Babatunde, urged the
court to grant her bail.
The case was adjourned to Nov. 26 for hearing.
