An Akure Magistrate court has remanded a 24-year old man, Akinyemi Benjamin, for allegedly beating a Chief Magistrate, Mrs. Yetunde Ajanaku during a misunderstanding between them.

As a result of the alleged assault, Mrs Ajanaku was reported to have sustained various injuries.

The accused person was alleged to have punched the Magistrate severally and also used his shoe to beat her, during a misunderstanding between them at Odi-Olowo street, Akure, on June 16, 2015.

According to the police Prosecutor, Mr Pelumi Adejuwon, the offence was contrary to and punishable under section 351 of the criminal code cap 37 Vol. 1 Laws of Ondo State of Nigeria, 2006. He however urged the court to adjourn the case to enable him study the case file properly.

But, counsel to the accused person, Mr. Azeez Agbaje , objected the prosecution’s prayer, and prayed the court to grant his client bail in the most liberal term.

He argued that the offence committed by his client was a bailable one.

However, the accused person pleaded not guilty to the one-count charge of assault levelled against him.

The presiding Magistrate, Mr Sunday Adedapo ordered the accused person to be remanded in Olokuta prison till the determination of the case.

He thereafter adjourned the case till June 23, 2015 for ruling.
