Adegbite alleged that the duo unlawfully caused the death of Mr Tosin Adenuga by flogging him with ‘koboko’ all over his body.
He said that the offences contravened Sections 516 and 319 of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
The Magistrate, Mrs Oluwabusayo Osho, did not take their pleas for want of jurisdiction.
She directed the police to return the case file to the State’s Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for legal advice.
Osho adjourned the case until July 18 for mention.
