the victim, while the other alleged accomplice, Monday, tied the deceased’s
hands and legs backward with a rope and also covered her mouth with a piece of
cloth which suffocated her to death.
Their plea was however not taken.

The Magistrate, Mrs K. A. Ariyo adjourned the matter
till 31 March for (DPP) Director of Public Prosecution’s advice.
