The suspect, Olowofela Oyebanji, who was granted bail on health grounds, is the second defendant among suspects who were arraigned before Magistrate Monisola Kamson for the alleged culpable homicide.

Oyebanji’s counsel, Barr. Udeh, during the suspects’ arraignment at a Magistrate Court yesterday, revealed that his client’s application for bail at the High Court had been granted.

He said Oyebanji could not physically appear in court because he was on admission at a hospital in Lagos.

He, however, promised to ensure his presence at the next adjourned date while Magistrate Monisola Kamson, who presided over the matter, adjourned till August 9, 2024.

Earlier, the prosecutor, Abdullah Sanni, had applied to substitute the police report to add another suspect, Saliu Murtala, who was just arrested, bringing the total number of suspects arraigned in connection with the killing of the Koro monarch to 14.

Other suspects: Godwin Jacob, Adefalolu Ayodele, Tewasie Francis, Babatunde Samuel, Godwin Joseph, one Issa, Miracle Solomon, Abraham Kehinde, Muhammed Bello, Muhammed Muhammed, Ahmadu Umaru and Muhammed Dankai of different address in Ekiti State, have further been remanded.

LEADERSHIP Friday recalls that one Aremu Simon Adeyemi reported the case at the Eruku Police Division. The suspects were subsequently dragged to court for the alleged offences of criminal conspiracy, culpable homicide, kidnapping and giving false information.

Adeyemi, through the police report, narrated how the suspects pointed guns at him, ordering him to follow them when he challenged them after noticing their movement around his grandson.

He said his grandson escaped through the backdoor while the suspects proceeded to kill the monarch and kidnapped his wife with one other person identified as Mercy.
