An Iyaganku Magistrates Court Ibadan, yesterday, remanded two suspects: Adekunle Fatai, 40, and Sabitu Kolapo, 33, in a correctional facility in Ibadan, for allegedly cutting a dead womans breast and unlawfully possessing a gun.
The duo whose addresses were not given were charged with conspiracy, interfering with a corpse, and unlawful possession of firearms.
The Magistrate, Mrs M. Olagbenro did not take the plea of the defendant for want of jurisdiction.
She directed the police to return the case file to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for legal advice.
She thereafter adjourned the case until Oct. 29, for mention.
The prosecutor, Insp Elisha Tellang told the court that the defendants committed the offences on July 13, at about 11.35 p.m, at Gbedun village, Ibadan.
Tellang said the defendants conspired to exhume the body of one late Mrs Oyindamola Olosunde and cut off her left breast.
Tellang said the defendants also possessed a gun without lawful authority.
He said the offences contravened Sections 6 (b) and 3 of the Robbery and Firearms Laws of Nigeria, 2004 and sessions 517 and 242(1)(b) of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
