An 18-year-old girl, Rukayat Ashiru, has been brought before the Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly drugging her boyfriend, Waris Olamilekan, and stealing N4 million from his account.
The case happened on November 30, 2024, at Mufu Lanihun area in Yidi Agugu, Ibadan.
Rukayat was taken to court on Friday, February 28, 2025, 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 on the run, 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 are 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 postponed until May 26, 2025, for hearing.
