By Taiwo Ogunniyi
The Chief Magistrate Ibrahim Dasuki of an Ilorin Magistrates’ Court has filed a direct complained of criminal case of assault, mischief and public disturbances against estrange wife, Hameedat Ajadi.
The magistrate arraigned Kwara Chief Judge’s step sister, Hameedat Ajadi over alleged assault on estranged husband, Mr. Abdul-Hammed Oladipupo.
Oladipupo, had filed a direct complained of criminal case of assault, mischief and public disturbances against estrange wife, Ajadi.
The Defendant Counsel, N. T. Obalowu (Mrs), requested that since the parties were formally husband and wife with two children of the estranged marriage, the court should allow the matter to be heared inside the Judge’s Chambers.
She also requested that the complainant should find a lawyer to represent him, saying that is against the rule of court for complainant to personally read out is complaint in the open court.
She asked for the date of adjournment for the complainant to put his house in order and get a lawyer to represent him in court.
But the husband, Oladipupo objected with reasons that the same counsel has been representing her client at a suit that directly concerns the children at the Shariah Court of Appeal in an open court room without asking for consession for it to be heared in the chambers.
Magistrate said he agreed but the court would not accept such due to the complexity and procedural history of this case.
Meanwhile, the Magistrate ruled in favour of the defendant counsel’s prayer in which she argued that its against rules of the court for a complaint to personally read out his complaint.
The Magistrate Dasuki, in his short ruling, ordered Oladipupo to get a lawyer to represent him in order to start the case proper.
He therefore adjourned the case till December 11, for mention.
He however ordered that the counsel should produce the suspect on the new adjourned date.
