An Ikeja High Court fixed June 16 for the prosecution in the trial of
10 persons accused of assaulting two women and a minor at the Oba
Morufu International Market, Ejigbo to present its final witness.
Those standing trial for the alleged torture are the market leader,
Isiaka Waidi (61), Buhari Yusuf (22), Abdullahi Haruna (20), Saheed
Adisa (29), Lateef Tijani (37) and Ahmed Adisa (65). Others are Azeez
Akinosun (36), Jimoh Busari (50), Adekunle Adenuga (38) and Oloruntoyin
Dauda (46), the woman leader of the market.
They are facing a 19-count charge bordering on conspiracy, attempted
murder, sexual assault, maliciously administering poison, obtaining
money by false pretenses and deprivation of liberty.
The defendants, who are alleged by the prosecution to be members of
the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), had allegedly tortured with pepper
Mrs. Ajoke Agomo, her daughter, Nike Salami, and her stepdaughter,
Juliana Agomo, over allegations of pepper theft.
The prosecution led by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), Mrs.
Idowu Alakija, told the court that the prosecution was closing its case
against the defendants and had only one witness left to give evidence.
