An Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, on Friday remanded one 19-year-old Imole Dauda and one 30-year-old Lateef Tajudeen, who allegedly flogged a 22-year-old to death with ‘koboko’.
The defendants, whose addresses were not provided, are charged with conspiracy and murder.
The Magistrate, Mrs Oluwabusayo Osho, did not take their pleas for want of jurisdiction.
She directed the police to return the case file to the state Director of Public Prosecutions for advice.
Osho adjourned the case until July 18 for mention.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp Olalekan Adegbite, told the court that the defendants committed the murder on May 10 at 8.00 a.m. at Ilupeju, Ibadan. READ ALSO:
