FOR the alleged murder of 54-year-old Abdulahi Yinusa, a Lagos High Court, Ikeja has ordered the remand of Monday Odeh in a correctional facility.
Justice Adenike Coker earlier today ordered the remand of Odeh after following his arraignment on one count charge of murder brought against him by the Lagos State government.
Counsel to the prosecution, Ms Titi Adeegbe informed the court that Odeh unlawfully murdered Yinusa on 4th April 2019 in the Magodo area of the state by hitting his head on the floor, thereby causing his death.
She said the offence contravened the provision of Section 223 of the Criminal Law, Cap C. 17, Vol. 3, Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
Ms Adeegbe, following the defendant’s plea of not guilty, prayed for a trial date.
Mrs Onikepo Braithwaite appeared for the defendant.
The judge subsequently adjourned the matter to 12th February 2024 for trial.
