An Abeokuta Magistrates’ Court on Thursday remanded a teenager, Hassan Muize, 19, in prison custody for allegedly stabbing a man to death, and injuring another.

The accused, whose plea was not taken, is facing a four-count charge of conspiracy, murder, attempted murder and belonging to secret cult.

The magistrate, Mr Martins Akinyemi, ordered the remand of the accused in Oba Prison, pending the advice of Director of Public Prosecution.

The prosecutor, Cpl. Moshood Hammed, said that the accused committed the offences on Sept. 23 at about 10.00 a.m. at Igbore in Abeokuta.

Hammed said that the accused, with others at large, unlawfully killed one Sunday Ifetayo, 23, by stabbing him to death.

He further told the court that the accused attempted to kill one Yeniz Ayeni, 24, by also stabbing him at the back with a broken bottle.

“The accused, who belonged to a secret cult (Eiye confraternity), was engaged in a fight with five others.

“The deceased and Ayeni were trying to intervene when the accused stabbed them with a broken bottle,” he said.

The prosecutor said that the offences contravened Sections 324, 316, 319 (a) 320 (1) of the Criminal Laws and Sections 3 and 5 of (Prohibition and Special Provision) Laws of Ogun, 2006.

The magistrate adjourned the case to Jan. 14, 2015 for further hearing on the matter.
