A Magistrates’ Court sitting in Ilorin, Kwara State, has ordered the remand of two men, Olasunkanmi Olarewaju, aka “Abore,” and Adeniyi Juwon, also known as “Jboy,” for allegedly beating their colleague, identified as Abiodun Oyinloye, to death.
They were dragged to court on two counts of criminal conspiracy and culpable homicide, contrary to Sections 97 and 221 of the Penal Code.
The Police First Information Report revealed that the two accused persons conspired and killed their colleague, whom they accused of stealing N65,000 from the sale of a substance suspected to be marijuana.
The charge read, “During a discreet investigation conducted at SCID Ilorin, it was revealed that you, Olasunkanmi Olarewaju aka Abore “m,” conspired with Adeniyi Juwon aka Jboy, and attacked Abiodun Oyinloye “m,” for stealing N65,000, which was the proceeds of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp that you were selling.”
“It was further revealed that you, Olasunkanmi Olarewaju, aka Abore “m,” after you and Adeniyi Juwon, aka Jboy, killed Abiodun Oyinloye, concealed the deceased’s body in a room within his compound.”
“During the investigation, you, Olasunkami Olarewaju, aka Abore, and Adeniyi Juwon, aka Jboy, both confessed to having conspired to beat Abiodun Oyinloye, aka M, to death for stealing N65,000.”
The prosecutor, Gbenga Ayeni, urged the court to remand the suspects to a federal correctional facility in the state pending the conclusion of the investigation.
In his ruling, the presiding magistrate, Mr. M. O. Abayomi, ordered their remand at the Federal Correctional Center, Mandala, Ilorin.
The case was adjourned until May 11, 2023, for further hearings.
