Two Remanded For Flogging Man To Death

Two persons, 19-year-old Imole Dauda, and one 30-year-old Lateef Tajudeen, have been remanded in prison by an Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, Oyo State.

The court remanded them on Friday for allegedly flogging a 22-year-old to death with a ‘koboko’ whip.

The defendants were charged with conspiracy and murder.

Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp Olalekan Adegbite, told the court that the defendants committed the murder on May 10 at 8.00 a.m. at Ilupeju, Ibadan.

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.
