A 59-year-old nurse, Adesoye Aniwura, has been ordered to be remanded in Abolongo Correctional Centre by the Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court in Ibadan, for allegedly causing the death of a patient in his hospital.
The Prosecution Counsel, Insp. Iyabo Oladoyin on Monday, told the court that the suspect committed the offence on May 28, at about 3:40 a. m. at his hospital, causing the death of 24-year-old Esther Oladepo by carrying out surgery on her three times.
Oladoyin claimed that the operation led to the death of the patient.
She said the offence contravened the provisions of Section 311 and is punishable under Section 319 of the Criminal Code Laws of the Oyo State 2000.
Meanwhile, the Chief Magistrate, Mr Emmanuel Idowu, did not take the plea of the suspect, for want in jurisdiction.
He ordered that Aniwura be remanded at Abolongo Correctional facility, Oyo town.
Idowu also directed the police to return the case file to the Director of Public Prosecution for legal advice.
He therefore, adjourned the matter until August 18, for mention.
