Nine suspects allegedly connected to the beating of an undergraduate student, Okoli Ahize to death at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) were at the weekend ordered to be remanded in prison by an Ile-Ife Magistrates’ Court sitting in Osogbo, Osun.
The suspects, Badiora Timilehin, 22; Adegoke Francis, 23; Atilade Adeniyi, 22; Adeyeni Ajibola, 22; Olayiwola Adewumi 21; Adisa Olamilekan, 24; Igbinyemi Amos, 22; Osode Joshua, 23 and Philip Kayode, 24, said to have have committed the crime on April 10, this year.
The police prosecutor, Asp Emmanuel Abdullahi, told the court that the defendants conspired among themselves “to commit offences to wit: Murder”.
The suspects were charged on a two-count charge of conspiracy and murder, the offence which the prosecutor said to have contravened Sections 319 and 324 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Osun, 2002.
ASP Emmanuel said, the defendants and others now at large unlawfully beat one Okoli Ahize to death with sticks, stones, and iron rods.
Messrs Olamide Oladunni and A.R. Abdullateef pleaded to the court to take their pleas but were turned down.
Magistrate, Kike Adebayo however ordered the prosecutor to duplicate their case files to the office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for legal advice.
