Magistrate Abimbola Amole-Ajimoti, who did not take the defendants’ plea, ordered the police to return the case file to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for legal advice.
She adjourned the case until May 8 for mention.
The prosecutor, Sgt. Philip Amusan, told the court that the defendants committed the crime on February 24, at about 7:30 p.m., at Asunni compound Agbeni, Ibadan.
