Grace Ogunleye, vice-chairman of Ilejemeje LGA in Ekiti state, has been remanded at the Ado-Ekiti Correctional Centre following her arraignment on charges bordering on conspiracy and self-kidnapping.
Ogunleye was arraigned on Wednesday alongside three others before a chief magistrate’s court in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital.
Sunday Abutu, Ekiti police spokesperson, said the suspects were arraigned after a thorough investigation into the allegations against them.
Akinwale Oriyimi, the prosecutor, informed the court that the case file had been forwarded to the state’s director of public prosecutions for legal advice and requested the remand of the accused.
Abayomi Adeosun, the chief magistrate, subsequently ordered that the defendants be remanded at the Ado-Ekiti Correctional Centre pending further proceedings.
Ogunleye was declared kidnapped on May 20 after her vehicle was reportedly found abandoned along the Ipere–Iludun Ekiti road.
