The accused, Tunde Lawal, an Islamic scholar, was arraigned in court on a four-count charge of being in possession of charms, criminal activities, cheating and defiling, contrary to sections 217, 397, 322 and 282 of the penal code.
He was said to have introduced himself as an Alfa (Muslim cleric) to Taiwo Yusuf of GTBank, Tanke, Ilorin branch and told her that she had some spiritual problems that might lead to death if not urgently attended to.
According to the charge sheet, the accused used the Quran and white handkerchief to rub the woman’s face and performed magic with it and demanded N11,500 to make incense and some cleansing items.
The cleric was also alleged to have invited her to his home for the continuation of the cleansing exercise. He hypnotised her with some charms and black soap and defiled her without her consent, the court was told.
The accused counsel, Ahmed Salaudeen, said he had reliable sureties. He prayed the court to admit him to bail.
The prosecutor, James Odaodu, objected to the bail of the accused on the grounds that investigation was ongoing. He urged the court to remand him in prison.
Magistrate Afusat Alege acceded to the request of the prosecutor and ordered that the accused be remanded at the Federal Prison, Oke-kura, Ilorin.
The case was adjourned till July 10.
