A
mortuary attendant at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State,
Muritala Raimi, has been remanded in Prison by an Iyaganku Magistrate’s Court
sitting in
Ibadan on Monday.
The
57yrs old man was alleged to have beheaded an unidentified corpse and concealed
it in a bag. While attempting to leave the premises, he was caught with the
head.
He
was alleged to have attempted fleeing from the scene, but was prevented by
policemen in the hospital who arrested him and took him to the Yemetu Police
Station.
The
charge sheet signed by one SP Adeniyi Odebiyi, read in part, “That you,
Muritala Raimi, on March 15, 2017, at about 5.30pm at UCH Ibadan, in the Ibadan
Magisterial District, did steal a human skull inside UCH mortuary, thereby
committing an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 3 of the
Criminal Code Cap 38, Vol. 11, Laws of Oyo State of Nigeria.”
After
pleading not guilty to the two counts, the magistrate, Akanni Monsurat, granted
him bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties each in like sum.
Raimi
failed to meet the bail conditions and was consequently remanded in custody.
