An Igbosere Magistrate court in Lagos has remanded an 85-year-old man, Ishau Ogunlana, in Ikoyi Prison, till June 17, pending advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecution, DPP, on their trial.
Magiatrate, Mrs O. M. Ajayi, remanded Ogunlana alongside two other men, Taofeek Omidina, and Ahmed Onabanjo, following accusations of murder made against them by the police.
The three men were alleged to have shot one Ogunniyi to death on April 23, at Agunfoye Idi-Orogbo, Igbogbo in Ikorodu, Lagos.
They were also said to have unlawfully inflicted several degrees of gun shot wounds on one Gbenga Ajadi.
The police also claimed that the trio did unlawfully and illegally have in their possession live cartridge without a license or permit duly issued to you by the Inspector-General of Police.
According to the police, the five-count offence against the defendants are punishable under Sections 220, 221, 231, 244, 328(d) and 409 of the Criminal Code Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2011.
Their pleas were not taken and the court made the remand order pursuant to an application by prosecuting Sergeant Innocent Odugbo.
"They are reasonably suspected to have committed the offences of conspiracy, murder, wounding and unlawful possession of live cartridge, acts that led to the disturbance of public peace on April 23, 2016," Odugbo said.
The court rejected the application of the suspects' counsel, Emmanuel Danye, who applied for Ogunlana to be remanded in police custody.
