A Yaba Chief Magistrate’s Court
in Lagos State on Wednesday remanded three politicians in Ikoyi prison over
alleged murder.
The accused, Bosun Adigun, 43;
Semiu Ogunbona, 58; and Sabitu Kamarudeen, 54, are facing a two-count charge of
conspiracy and murder.
The Chief Magistrate, Mrs O.G.
Oghere, ordered that the trio should be remanded in prison due to the magnitude
of the alleged offences.
Earlier, The prosecutor, Insp.
Modupe Olaluwoye, had told the court that the accused conspired and shot dead
one Mr Nurudeen Olanase following a political disagreement.
She said that the accused
committed the offences at noon on May 12 at the Central Community Primary
School, Oniwaya, Agege, Lagos.
According to the prosecutor, the
accused shot the deceased on the head with a prohibited firearm.
“They conspired among themselves
and killed the deceased because of a political disagreement they had,” she
said.
The prosecutor submitted that the
offences contravened Sections 215 and 233 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State,
2015 (Revised).
Counsel to the accused, Mr Tunji
Akinyemi, had prayed the court to grant his clients bail in liberal terms but
Oghere remanded them and ordered that the case file should be sent to the state
Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for advice.
She, however, adjourned the case
until July 11 for mention.
