Magistrate A.O. Famuyide of the Ile-Ife Magistrates’ Court has ordered the remand of Eruteya Moses, 47, at Ile-Ife Custodial Centre for misleading the court through a fake address.
The magistrate gave the order on Thursday after the police arraigned Mr Eruteya for allegedly perverting the course of justice.
Police prosecutor Adesina Elijah told the court that the defendant committed the offence on March 30, around 12:00 noon at Magistrates’ Court IV, Ile-Ife.
The court heard that the defendant conspired with others, now at large, to pervert the course of justice.
Mr Adesina added that the defendant perfected and obstructed the course of justice when he misled the court by using a fake address for the purpose of bail.
