Man remanded for shooting, killing she-goat
The Iyaganku Magistrate’s Court in Ibadan, on Monday, ordered the remand of a 44-year-old man, Raimi Saka, in a correction centre for allegedly shooting and killing a she-goat while armed.
Mr Saka, whose address was not provided, is charged with possession of dangerous weapons.
The magistrate, Kausarat Ayofe, did not take the plea of Saka for want of jurisdiction.
She directed the police to return the case file to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for legal advice.
Ms Ayofe adjourned the case until August 8 for mention.
The prosecutor, Toyin Ibrahim, told the court that the defendant allegedly committed the offence on June 1, at about 9:00 p.m., in the Ayegun, Oleyo area of Ibadan.
Mr Ibrahim alleged that the defendant, while armed with dangerous weapons, killed one she-goat, property of one Babatunde Azeez.
He said the offence contravened section 1(2) of the Robbery and Firearms Laws of Nigeria, 2004.
