The accused, a trade and HND student at
Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo in Ondo State was docked before Mrs Rabi
Abdulahi on a two-count charge of act likely to cause breach of the
peace and unlawful assault.
Babatunde was accused of pouring faeces
on one Agnes Olasehinde, a 27-year-ols banker with the First Bank Plc,
Alagbaka branch, Akure.
The offence, according to the Police
Prosecutor, ASP Ayodele Atandeyi, was allegedly committed on Feb. 24, at
about 12.30 p.m. at the First Bank Plc, Alagbaka branch, Akure.
She was accused of conducting herself
in a manner likely to cause breach of the peace by bringing into the
banking hall a can containing faeces.
This, the police said constituted an
offence contrary to and punishable under section 249 of the Criminal
Code Cap 37 Vol. I laws of Ondo State 2006.
Babatunde was also accused of
assaulting Olasehinde by pouring faeces on her body, contrary to and
punishable under Section 351 of the Criminal Code Cap 37 Vol. I laws of
Ondo State 2006.
The accused person who elected summary
trial at the court pleaded not guilty to the two charges when they were
read to her in English language.
But in her statement to the police, the
accused, who gave her address as No. 47, Ekusi Street, Owo, admitted
that she poured the faces on Olasehinde because she was going out with
her husband.
Atandeyi informed the court that he had
two witnesses to call to prove the case against the accused person and
asked for an adjournment to enable him study the case file.
The Counsel to the accused person, Mr
Christopher Titiloye, did not object to the adjournment sought by the
prosecutor, but urged the court to admit his client to bail pending the
final determination of the matter.
In her ruling, the magistrate granted
bail to the accused person in the sum of N100, 000 and two sureties in
like sum, who must reside within the jurisdiction of the court.
The sureties, the court ruled must swear to affidavit of means and must be property owners in the jurisdiction of the court.

This is a dance of the naked in village square.As we blame the Kite that snatched a chick from the mother hen,we must reprimand mother hen for being careless in not protecting her chick properly. The banker should have been wiser.In other climes she will be investigated too for actions inimical to the image of a responsible corporate organisation. some of these ladies working in banks and their escapades with men( Alhajis) are no longer news.Some of them date men as old as their grand father but in this case,a driver.Perhaps,she is now desperate to settle down after years of (Alhaji,Alhaji).
