33-Year-Old Man Docked For Killing Wife In Ibadan

Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State has ordered the remand of Kabiru Arewa, 33, in a correctional facility for allegedly killing his 24-year-old wife, Suliyat.

Arewa, whose residence was not supplied, has been charged with murder on Friday, May 31.

The Magistrate, Mr Olaolu Olanipekun, refused to accept the defendant’s plea due to a lack of jurisdiction.

He, however, asked the police to return the case file to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for legal guidance before adjourning the matter until June 28 for mention.
