An Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, on Wednesday ordered remand of a security guard, Mr. Ibrahim Olayiwola, for alleged murder.
Olayiwola is facing two counts of conspiracy and murder.
The Magistrate, Mr. Maruff Mudashiru, did not take his plea for want of jurisdiction.
He directed the police to return the case file to Oyo State Director of Public Prosecutions for advice.
Mudashiru ordered that Olayiwola should be kept in a custodial facility pending the advice.
He adjourned the case until Aug. 28 for mention.
The prosecutor, Insp Femi Oluwadare, had told the court that the defendant committed the offences on Dec. 6, 2023, at 4.00 a.m., at Oja-Oba area of Ibadan.
Oluwadare alleged that the defendant unlawfully caused the death of 27-year-old Ramoni Yusuf by beating him with sticks.
