A 21-year-old man, Lateef Ojo was on Friday remanded in a correctional centre by an Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State, over alleged conspiracy and robbery.
Eyiaromi added that the defendant collected Aliyu’s phone valued at N70, 000 and a wristwatch valued at N16, 000. He stated that the offence was contrary to section 6 , 1 of the Robbery and Firearms Laws of Nigeria, 2004.
The Magistrate, Mrs S.L Babalola, however ignored the defendant’s plea due to lack of jurisdiction and asked that the case file be returned to the Director of Public Prosecutions for legal advice. Babalola adjourned the case until November 29, 2022 for further mention.All rights reserved.
