An Upper Area Court 1 in Ilorin on Tuesday issued a warrant of arrest on Mrs. Ajiboye Bolakale Ibukunoluwa, over alleged adultery.
Bolakale, a native of Isanlu Isin, in Isin Local Government Area of Kwara State, and erstwhile lecturer at New Land Polytechnic, Ilorin, has been declared wanted alongside her brother, Dapo for alleged offences bothering on criminal conspiracy, adultery ,l intimidation, assault , criminal force, causing hurt, use of insulting, abusive language and defamation of character.
Judge AbdulGaniyu Mustapha granted the order for their arrest while delivering ruling in an ex-parte application brought before him by the complainant counsel.
The ex-parte application was predicated on sections 6 sub(6) paragraph(b) of 1999 constitution as amended.
In the ex-parte application argued by Barr. Isaac Adebayo said the two defendants were said to be at large.
The senior lawyer submitted that the defendants were involved in conspiracy, criminal intimidation, assaults, criminal force , causing hurt, use of insulting, abusive and defamation of character.
Judge Mustapha granted the request of the Complainant to declare the defendants wanted and upon their arrest and investigation, be brought before the court for trial.
Speaking with our reporter shortly after the rulings , Counsel to the complainant, , Issac Adebayo lauded the ruling, describing it as well served.
“The ruling today gave us the headway on what next to be done, after all the Court has granted us a bench warrant and the police could not execute it on the first and second defendant, Bolakale Ajiboye and Dapo Awolaoye.
” They were being charged for conspiracy, adultery and intimidation. When the Court’s orderly(Police) informed the Court that he found it difficult to execute the bench warrant, having known that there is no way we could go around without taking a further step.
“That is why we took a further step by applying to Court that it should grant the complainant the order to declare the two wanted on the pages of newspaper and other social media. Graciously, the Court has granted us. The sky is our limit now, we can go to any length for the law to have its way to get her to the Court,” the lawyer said.
All efforts to reach out to the defendant’s lawyer’s proved abortive as all calls to them neither picked nor returned.
However the Case is slated for further mention by May, 14th 2014.
