The police on Monday arraigned a 79-year old landlady, Beatrice Olabisi in an Iyaganku Senior Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, over alleged breaking into her tenant’s room.

Olabisi is facing one-count charge of break in.

The Prosecutor, Sgt. Oluseye Akinola, told the court that the defendant on Dec. 11 at about 10 a.m. at Alafia street, Mokola area of Ibadan, broke in and illegally entered a tenant’s room.

Akinola said the defendant entered the apartment occupied by Robert Michael, her tenant with intention to steal.

He added that the offence contravened Section 411 (1) of the Criminal Code Cap 38 Vol. II Laws of Oyo State 2000.

However, the defendant pleaded not guilty and his Counsel, Babatunde Ajibola, asked the court to admit his client on bail in the most liberal term, considering her age.

The Senior Magistrate, Mrs Munirat Giwa-Babalola, granted bail to the defendant on self recognition and adjourned the case until Feb. 22 for hearing.
