The father and the 15months old, Lunacy or downright wickedness?

It was David Brooks New York Times Op-Ed columnist who said: “To explain the unknown by the known is a logical procedure; to explain the known by the unknown is a form of theological lunacy.”

Otherwise, how does one explain Yahaya Oisamaiye strange attraction to his 15 months old baby?

Well, Yahaya Oisamaiye, has been remanded at Oko Correctional Centre in Edo State, by Justice Geraldine Imadegbelo to await the advice of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) following an allegation that he defiled his 15-month old baby, Belta Oisamaiye.  

After listening to a motion exparte filed by I. E Ekibade for the Applicant (Nigeria Police) and the response of Dan Osei Okoh (SAN), Musa Bello, Uwa Okoh and C.O. Omozugbonwen who appeared for the suspect, Justice Imadegbelo in her enrolment order said: “The suspect is to be remanded at Oko Correctional Centre for an initial period of 14 days pending the advice of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP). Return date is on the 23rd day of March 2022.”

The charge sheet number B/CD/470M/2022 between Commissioner of Police v. Yahaya Oisamaye reads: “That you Yahaya Oisamaiye ‘m’ on or about the 7th day of February 2022, between 0500hrs – 0630hrs, at Brisbourne Iyamu Street, GRA, Benin City in the Benin Judicial Division, did have unlawful carnal knowledge of one Belta Oisamaiye ‘f’ aged 15 months and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 4 and punishable under Section 5 (1) of the Edo State Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Law 2021.”

The police argued that their reason for the request for remand is based on the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Edo State 2016 in Section 293(1) which provided that “when a suspect is arrested for an offence which a magistrate court has no jurisdiction to try shall within a reasonable time of arrest be brought before a high court for remand.”

The Holy Book however sums it up: “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?”
