An Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State capital has remanded Mutiu Balogun, 46, in a correctional facility for allegedly killing a 70-year-old man.

New Telegraph gathered that Balogun, whose address is withheld was on Wednesday charged with murder.

The Magistrate, Mrs Olasinmibo Sanusi-Zubair, did not take the defendant’s plea for lack of jurisdiction.
