Police arraign man for allegedly beating 30-year-old to death in Ibadan
An Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, Oyo State, on Thursday ordered the remand of one 25-year-old Isaac Akinola, who allegedly conspired with others to beat a man to death.
Akinola, whose address was not given, is charged with conspiracy and murder.
The Magistrate, Oluwabusayo Osho, did not take his plea for want of jurisdiction.
She directed the police to take the case file to the Oyo State Director of Public Prosecutions for advice.
She adjourned the case until February 19, 2025, for mention.
The prosecutor, Inspector Olalekan Adegbite, submitted that Akinola committed the offence on November 20, at 10.00 a.m. at Ogbomoso.
Mr Adegbite alleged that Akinola conspired with some other people to beat one John Kome, aged 30, to death.
He said that the offences contravened Sections 516 and 319 of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
