An Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court, on Thursday, ordered the remand of a 23-year-old Abiodun Adesegun at Agodi Correctional facility, Ibadan, Oyo State, over alleged attempted murder.
Adesegun is facing a two-count charge bordering on attempted murder.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs A. T. Oyediji, who did not take the suspect’s plea due to lack of jurisdiction, ordered his remand at Agodi Correctional facility, Ibadan.
Oyediji said the remand was pending the issuance of advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) at the Ministry of Justice.
She, thereafter, adjourned till April 10, for mention.
The Prosecuting Counsel, ASP Foluke Adedosu, told the court that the suspect and others at large committed the offence on March 11, at about 9: 00pm at Matala Mosque area, Oke-Adu Ibadan.
He alleged that the suspect attempted to kill one Lekan Lukman, by cutting his head with an axe and beating all his body with a stick.
She said the offence contravened Section 320 and 324 of the Criminal Code Laws of Oyo State, 2000. (NAN)
