An Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court in Ibadan, Oyo State yesterday remanded a 60-year-old woman and four men for allegedly killing two men for ritual purposes.
The defendants; Rasheedat Akanji, 60, Mohammed Adekunle, 39, Muniru Salaudeen, 64, Ismaeel Olalekan, 44, and Sanmi Obaleye, 41 are standing trial on a six-count bordering on conspiracy, murder, and interfering with dead bodies.
The Magistrate, Mrs Adebola Adeola, however, did not take the plea of the defendants due to lack of jurisdiction. She, however, ordered that the defendants be remanded at Agodi Correctional facility, Ibadan, after the charge was read.
Adeola, ordered that the case file be forwarded to the office of the Directorate for Public Prosecutions (DPP) for legal advice. She, thereafter, adjourned the case until Oct. 22 for mention.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp Iyabo Oladoyin, told the court that the defendants on Aug. 7, at noon, at Seriki Olorisaoko area, Moniya, Ibadan, conspired and committed the offences.
