A 33-year-old man Oyebode Odewale was on Thursday, December 16, arraigned before an Ile-Ife Magistrates’ Court for allegedly writing RIP on his girlfriend, Ademola Omolade’s picture on social media on December 13. The police charged Odewale with two counts of breach of peace and threat to life. Prosecution Counsel Insp Sunday Osanyintuyi told the court that Oyebode committed the offence on December 13 around 11:30 pm at Eleyele Street, Ile-Ife. Mr. Osanyintuyi said that the defendant conducted himself in a manner that caused a breach of public peace by posting RIP on Ademola Omolade’s social media data page.
