The matter was adjourned pending the outcome of the DPP’s advice while the defendant, Adeyemi, will be in custody till the Court determines if he will be transferred to the High Court for trial.

But why did the woman go to a hotel with a person who was not identified. Didn't they write their names in the register. Why did the security men allow the man to go out without seeing the woman first. Na waaaoo.
