An 18-year-old girl, Rukayat Ashiru, has been arraigned before the Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, Oyo State, for allegedly drugging her boyfriend, Waris Olamilekan, and stealing N4 million from his account.
The incident happened on November 30, 2024, at Mufu Lanihun area in Yidi Agugu, Ibadan.
Rukayat was taken to court on Friday, where she was charged with conspiracy and stealing.
She, however, pleaded not guilty to both charges.
The police prosecutor, PC Olapeju Durodola, told the court that Rukayat and some other people, who are still at large, planned together to drug Waris by putting a substance in his drink.
After Waris became unconscious, Rukayat allegedly took N4 million from his account.
The prosecutor said the offences were against Sections 390(9) and 516 of the Criminal Code Law of Oyo State, 2000.
The Chief Magistrate, Olabisi Ogunkanmi, allowed Rukayat to go on bail for N2 million.
She must also bring two people to stand as sureties for her.
One of the sureties must own a property within the court’s area, and the second surety must be a family member.
The case was then adjourned until May 26, 2025, for hearing. (The Conclave)
