One David Abiodun has pleaded guilty before a Federal High Court in Ibadan to kidnapping a 17-year-old student of the University of Ibadan, Divine Ayeni.
Abiodun pleaded guilty yesterday to the two-count charge bordering on kidnapping instituted against him by the Department of State Services (DSS).
Consequently, Justice Nkeonye Maha adjourned the suit until September 23 for presentation of facts and judgment.
Maha also ordered the defendant to be remanded in Agodi Correctional Centre.
Counsel to DSS, Mr T.A. Nurudeen, had earlier told the court that the defendant committed the crime between May 19 and June 5, 2024, in Ibadan.
Nurudeen added that Abiodun committed an illegal act by abducting the victim, thereby depriving her of liberty.
According to him, the offences contravened the provisions of sections 24A and 30A of the Terrorism and Prohibition and Prevention Act 2022.
