Court remands 2 men over alleged murder in Ibadan
An Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, on Friday ordered the remand of two men, Adewunmi Aderogba, 42, and Abdullahi Shehu, 45, in a Correctional Centre for alleged murder.
Aderogba and Shehu, whose residential addresses were not provided, are facing charges of conspiracy and murder.
The Magistrate, Mrs S. A Adesina, who did not take the plea of the defendants for want in jurisdiction, ordered their remand in a correctional facility.
Adesina further directed the police to return the case file to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for legal advice, and adjourned the case until Aug. 19, for mention.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, ASP Sikiru Ibrahim, told the court that the defendants allegedly committed the offences on June 27, at about 10:00 a.m, at Maharaji village, Toll Gate, Ibadan.
Ibrahim alleged that the defendants, on the same date, time and place, unlawfully caused the death of one Bakesu Apobore, 60 and Odiamose Ayanize, 26, by hitting them with a bulldozer.
He said the offences contravened sections 324 and 319 of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
