An Igbosere High Court in Lagos on Thursday dismissed an application seeking to reject the confessional statements allegedly made by a lawyer, Udeme Otike-Odibi, accused of killing her lawyer husband, Symphorosa.While dismissing the application, the judge said, “This court did not find that the said confessional statement was obtained contrary to the provisions of Section 93 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law .
“The end result is that I do not find that the confessional statement being sought to be tendered has in any way contravened the provisions of Sections 93 of the ACJL or Section 35 of the 1999 Constitution . Mr Banjoko had made the application on February 25, where the court was to conduct a trial within a trial.
He argued that the law was made to avoid unnecessary waste of time in conducting a trial-within-trial to determine admissibility of statements. The prosecution went further to state that it was not how an evidence was obtained that determined its admissibility.
