Court remands 40-year-old man over alleged murder
An Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, Oyo State, on Thursday, ordered the remand of a 40 year-old man, Opeyemi Hammed, in a correctional facility over alleged murder charge.
Mr Hammed, whose address was not provided, is being tried for alleged murder.
The Magistrate, Adebola Adeola, refused the plea of the defendant to be taken for lack of jurisdiction.
She directed the prosecutor, Inspector Iyabo Oladoyin, to send the case file to the Director of Public Prosecution for legal advice.
She thereafter adjourned the case until May 30 for mention.
Earlier, the prosecutor told the court that the defendant allegedly committed the offence on April 2, at noon, at Akinyele area of Ibadan.
Ms Oladoyin alleged that the defendant and his accomplices now at large, unlawfully caused the death of Ibrahim Malik, 28, who they tortured to death.
She said the offence contravened Sections 324 and 316 of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
