The defendant allegedly insulted and physically hurt Bilikisu while she was retrieving a dead rat from the backdoor, according to the police.

The charge sheet states that after calling Bilikisu a witch and beginning to beat her with a broom, “the defendant (Lola) proceeded into the kitchen to fetch hot water from the fire and poured it over her body, leaving her face, breasts, and other portions of her body severely scorched.”

After being taken to Cottage Hospital in Olorunshogo, Ilorin, the sufferer was treated there.

ASP Zacheus Folorunsho, the prosecutor, requested the court to hold the suspect in jail until the conclusion of the police investigation into the incident.

The prosecutor’s request was granted by Magistrate Ibrahim Dasuki, who also mandated that Lola be held at the Oke-Kura correctional facility in Ilorin, Kwara State.

As a result, he postponed the subject to March 6, 2023.
