Court Remands Three Men For Inserting Pepper Into Lady’s Private P*rts

An Edo State High Court has remanded three men in prison for
inserting pepper into the private parts of one Favour Ada
Friday.

The three suspects: Lucky Igbinovia, a.k.a. One Man Squad, head
of vigilance group in Ugbiyoko community; Iyamu Kingsley and Joel
Otoghile, who is the prime suspect, were arraigned on Monday
following their arrest by the Police.

The accused were arraigned on a 14-count charge bordering on
kidnapping, attempted murder, unlawful administration of a noxious
substance into the private parts of Ada and unlawful trial by
ordeal.

A video of the men carrying out jungle justice on their victim
had gone viral on social media last week.

Ada was accused of stealing an iPhone worth, N44,000 and was
tortured into confessing to the alleged offence.

Trouble started for Ada after Otoghile, who had just returned
from Ghana with his wife, lodged at Lafun Hotel located at Ugbiyoko
community in Egor Local Government Area of the state and later
“organised ladies for his cousins”.

Ada was one of the ladies.

Ada and other ladies were leaving when Otoghile discovered that
his iPhone was missing.

A native doctor, who is still at large, through some magic,
fingered Ada as the culprit and within minutes, she had been
stripped naked.

While she was being tortured, one of the accusers recorded the
incident. The video was later uploaded on social media.

Peter Ugwumba, prosecuting counsel, prayed the court to remand
the three pending advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions
(DPP).

He said: “A native doctor, yet to be arrested, magically
inserted two live bullets into the body of Ada, saying she would
die if she refused to confess.”

Justice J. Acha ordered the remand of the three while adjourning
the case till March 6, 2019.

He asked the prosecuting counsel to produce other culprits in
the act, especially the native doctor.
