For allegedly shooting to death a truck driver, Ade
Saleh, a Magistrate Court in Akure, Ondo State, on Monday ordered the remand of
a 37-year-old police officer Idowu Omosuyi, at Olokuta Correctional Centre.
Omosuyi was alleged to have shot the truck driver
with his AK 47 rifle on December 2, 2019, at Uso Town on Owo-Akure Road at
about 2:00p.m.
The suspect was brought before Magistrate Charity
Adeyanju on a count charge of murder.
The offence committed was said to be contrary to
section 316 and punishable under section 319 on the criminal code cap 37,
Volume 1 of the Ondo State of Nigeria 2006.
The police prosecutor, Inspector Goodluck Uloh,
told the court that he has a motion on notice for the remand of the defendant
in a correctional home.
The counsel to the suspect, Ikujuni Ademola,
opposed the prosecutor's application, adding that he was just served with the
application in the court, which is not part of the practice.
He, therefore, prayed the court to order that the
defendant be returned to the police custody.
However, Adeyanju, ordered that the defendant be
remanded in Olokuta Correctional Service Home till December 27, 2019, for
hearing of the motion.
