Tuesday, September 17, 2024 -A Chief Magistrates’ Court in Iyaganku, Ibadan, on Tuesday, ordered the remand of three students for allegedly causing the death of a 16-year-old student.
The trio, Shodimu Halima, 18; Agbedun Zainab, 23, and
Olaleye Oladunni, 23, of Iseyin College of Health Science and Technology, are
facing a two-count charge bordering on conspiracy and murder.
The Magistrate, M. Mudashiru, who did not take their
pleas for lack of jurisdiction, ordered their remand at the Agodi Correctional
Centre, Ibadan.
Mr Mudashiru said the remand was pending the issuance
of legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP).
The prosecuting counsel, Femi Oluwadare, had earlier told the
court that the defendants allegedly conspired with others at large to commit
the offence.
According to the prosecutor, the defendants allegedly
caused the death of one Eniola Ismail, 16, by beating her with fists on July 29
at about 4.00 p.m. at Iseyin, Oyo State.
“The defendants allegedly fought with the deceased on
July 29 in school, after which the deceased went home," he said.
“Getting home, the deceased complained of body pains,
only to die later.”
Mr Oluwadare said the offences were contrary to
Section 316 and punishable under Sections 319 and 324 of the Criminal Code Laws
of Oyo State 2000
