The trio, Shodimu Halima, 18; Agbedun Zainab, 23, and Olaleye Oladunni, 23, are facing a two-count charge bordering on conspiracy and murder.
The pleas of the suspects were not taken for lack of jurisdiction.

Mudashiru said the remand was pending the issuance of legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP).
He, thereafter, adjourned the matter till Dec. 30 for mention.
