Court remands housewife for beating mother-in-law to coma – TheNigerialawyer

An Ado-Ekiti Chief Magistrate’s Court has remanded in prison a
housewife, Adenike Olowookere for allegedly attempting to kill her
mother-in-law.

The 30-year-old was accused of ruthlessly beating her
63-year-old mother-in-law, Mrs Comfort Olowookere, which almost led
to the death of the latter.

The mother-in-law was saved by the intervention of Good
Samaritans who rescued her from the grip of her
daughter-in-law.

Adenike’s attack left the mother-in-law in a state of coma in an
undisclosed hospital where she was rushed to after the
incident.

Police Prosecutor, Inspector Bankole Olasunkanmi, told the court
that Adenike committed the offence on September 9 in Ado-Ekiti
within the Ado Ekiti Magisterial District.

Olasunkanmi said a charge of attempted murder has been slammed
on the accused whose address was not provided.

The offence, according to Olasunkanmi, contravened Section 320
of the Criminal Code, Laws of Ekiti State, 2012.

The prosecutor urged the Court to remand the defendant in prison
pending legal advice from office of Director of Public Prosecution
(DPP).

The plea of the defendant was not taken.

The Chief Magistrate, Mr. Abdulhamid Lawal, ordered the remand
of the defendant and adjourned the case until October 17 for
mention.
