Twenty-six-year-old
Babalola Kunle has been remanded in prison for allegedly killing his friend,
Olasunkanmi Monday, by pushing him into the river in a bid to recover his
missing phone.
The incident
happened at Idiroko Village, Ikorodu area of Lagos.
The police
said Kunle had suspected the deceased to have stolen his phone.
He then gave
him a chase on the fateful day, before pushing him into the Majidun River,
where he died.
The deceased
was said to have drowned after efforts to rescue him failed.
Kunle was
thereafter arraigned before an Ebute Meta Magistrate’s court on one count of
murder.
The charge
reads, “That you, Babalola Kunle, and others at large, on or about March 16,
2014, at Idiroko Village, Ikorodu, Lagos in the Lagos Magisterial District, did
conspire among yourselves to commit felony to wit; murder and thereby committed
an offence punishable under Section 231 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State,
Nigeria, 2011.
“That you did
unlawfully kill one Olasunkanmi Monday, aged 24 years, by pushing him into the
Majidun River.”
The
defendant’s plea was not taken.
The police
prosecutor, Corporal Cyriacus Osuji filed application for the remand of the
defendant in prison. He said the remand would also help the police to obtain
legal advice from the state’s Directorate of Public Prosecution.
The defence
counsel, Spurgeon Ataene and O.C. Osordi, however, objected the remand
application.
Osordi said,
“Having listened to the application for remand, it is the same Section 264 (1)
of the Law that gives the court the power to enquire into the case to see if
there is probable cause for remand. And if the court is not satisfied, it may
consider subsection 5, which gives the go ahead to admit the defendant to
bail.”
The
magistrate, Mr. E.O. Ogunkanmi, called the Investigating Police Officer,
Sergeant Babatunde John for the outcome of his investigation.
John said the
deceased had been accused of stealing the defendant’s phone, which led to a
chase.
“He pushed him
into the Majidun River. He was brought out dead. His corpse was then taken to
the Ikorodu General Hospital,” he added.
The suspect
was said to have been arrested after the matter was reported at Owutu Police
station, Ikorodu.
Ogunkanmi
ruled that Kunle be remanded in the Ikoyi Prison pending DPP legal advice.
