A female
APC Chairmanship aspirant in Ekiti State, Mrs Abimbola Olawumi
Olajumoke-Adeniyi, was yesterday remanded in prison for an alleged traffic
offence and assaulting a police officer and a staff of the Ekiti State Traffic
Management Agency while performing their lawful duties.
The
39-year-old mother of three allegedly committed the offence on Friday, October
6th and was arraigned by police prosecutor, Inspector Caleb Leramo
and brought before Chief Magistrate Richard Adegboye alongside a 23-year old mechanic
operating in Ado Ekiti, Tope Ogidiolu.
The
accused persons pleaded not guilty to the charges, but the lawyer to the
accused persons, Mrs Taiwo Ajibulu, applied for bail which was objected to by
the prosecutor.
Ajibulu
said that issues of traffic offence were bailable and that it will be a breach
of the rights of her clients to be deprived of bail on account of flimsy excuse
that she could jump bail.
Magistrate
Adegboye eventually ordered that the accused persons to be remanded in prison
custody till October 13, 2017.
