TWENTY-one year old undergraduate of Redeemers University, Ogun State, Tolani Ajayi, who killed his father, late Chief Charles Ajayi, has been remanded.
The suspect appeared before a Chief Magistrates’ court sitting in Owode Egba, on Tuesday.
He was arraigned on a one-count charge of murder.
The order was given by Justice Bolaji Ojikutu when the case came up for hearing.
The charge reads in part: “That you Tola Ajayi M, on 21 July, 2014, about4:00a.m at Canaan – Land Street, RCCG Camp, Mowe in the Owode Egba Magistrates’ Court District, did unlawfully kill one Charles Ajayi aged 60 with knife and cutlass and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 316 and punishable under Section 319(1) of the criminal code, laws of Ogun State of Nigeria, 2006.”
However, the accused plea was not taken because he did not have legal representation in court.
The case file, the prosecutor said, would be sent to the Department of Public Prosecution (DPP) for advice.
The magistrate adjourned the case till October 10, 2014.
