In connection with their suspected use of “Koboko” to fatally flog a 22-year-old to death, Imole Dauda, 19, and Lateef Tajudeen, 30, were remanded in the correctional centre according to the directives of an Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State.
New Telegraph gathered that the two accused were dragged to court over alleged conspiracy and murder.
However, their appeal was denied by Magistrate Oluwabusayo Osho due to lack of jurisdiction and adjourned the case until July 18.
She told the police to send the case file back to the state’s Director of Public Prosecutions so that she could provide guidance.
