Correctional centre
By CHIDINMA EWUNONU-ALUKO
An Iyaganku Magistrates? Court in Ibadan, on Wednesday, ordered that a 27-year-old man, Musa Lamidi, be remanded in a correctional facility for allegedly killing his father, Rufai.
The police charged Lamidi, whose address was not provided with murder.
The Magistrate, Mr. Olaolu Olanipekun did not take the plea of Lamidi for want in jurisdiction.
He directed the police to return the case file to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for legal advice.
He adjourned the case until July 10, for mention.
The Prosecutor, ASP Musbau Lawal, told the court that Lamidi committed the offence on May 11, at about 11 p.m, at Eruwa, Oyo State.
He alleged that Lamidi hit his father with a stick on the forehead, which caused his death.
He said the offence contravened the provisions of Section 319 of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000. (NAN)
