    Kayode Ojo has been remanded in prison by an Ondo State Chief Magistrate Court sitting in Odigbo, Odigbo Local Government Area, for attempting to commit suicide inside a police cell.

    The defendant had previously been arrested by men from the state police command for attempting suicide. He was accused of attempting to swallow a hazardous liquid substance while inside the confinement.

    The police arraigned him in court on one count of attempted murder.

    In his ruling, Chief Magistrate D. O. Ogunfuyi remanded the defendant to the Okitipupa Correctional Centre and postponed the case till October 10, 2023, for fact and sentencing.
