An Igbosere High Court in Lagos on Thursday dismissed an application asking it to reject the alleged confession of a lawyer, Udeme Otike-Odibi, accused of killing her lawyer husband, Symphorosa, last May 3.

The judge ordered a trial on May 23, to determine whether the confessional statement allegedly obtained from her by the police on May 4, 2018, should be admitted as having been made by her. He relied on Section 93 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Lagos State, 2015 and Section 35 of the 1999 Constitution .

The court also considered Section 35 of the 1999 Constitution , which provides that a person accused or detained has a right to remain silent or avoid answering any question until such person has consulted a legal practitioner.Justice Akintoye held: “The defence counsel has not been able to establish that the defendant was not given the option to remain silent or to avoid answering any question until after consultation with a legal practitioner or any other person of her choice.
