AN Ile-Ife Magistrates’ Court in Osun on Monday ordered that a woman, one Nifemi Ajayi, be remanded in prison custody for allegedly biting her neighbour on the scrotum.
Scrotum is the bag of skin that holds and helps to protect the testicles, which make sperm in the male reproductive system.
The police charged Ms Ajayi with assault, and Magistrate Olusola Aluko, who presided over the matter, has ordered the defence counsel to file a written application for bail as he ordered the defendant to be remanded in Ilesa Correctional Centre, and adjourned the matter to November 15, for bail consideration.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge preferred against her.
Earlier, the prosecution counsel, Sunday Osanyintuyi, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on August 24, around 8pm at No 21, Oke-Soda, Ile-Ife.
Mr Osanyintuyi said the defendant bit one Olayera Boluwaji on his scrotum and his stomach. He added that the offence contravened the provisions of Section 355 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Osun, 2002.
The defence counsel, Philip Fasanmoye, made an oral bail application. He prayed the court to admit his client in most liberal terms.
