A 46-year-old football coach, Emmanuel Temuru, was on Friday brought before a Yaba Magistrates’ Court for allegedly causing the death of his girl friend.
The accused was charged for allegedly causing the death of one Miss Margaret Usen, 35, but his plea was not taken as he was remanded in prison custody, pending an advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
The prosecutor Inspector Philip Ugbodu, told the court that the accused, who resides at 5 Olupitan St., Idimu Lagos, is a football coach.
He said that on February 13, at about 6.30 p.m., the accused, who had allegedly impregnated the deceased, travelled with her to Abeokuta after she developed some health complications.
Ugbodu told the court that the accused had allegedly taken the deceased to a Clinic/Maternity Hospital in Abeokuta, where she was given some herbs to drink and also bath with.
He alleged that the health of the deceased deteriorated soon after the herbal treatment and she died hours later.
According to him, the offence is contrary to section 319 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Lagos State.
The case was adjourned to June 6.
