NAN reports that Magistrate Mary Bamidele ordered their remand at the Oke-Kura Correctional Center, Ilorin and adjourned the case until Nov. 12, for further mention.

Earlier, the Prosecutor, Sgt. Kayode Rhoda informed the court that the defendants inflicted injury with a machete on one Yusuf Abubakar’s head which led to his untimely death.

The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges against them.

The prosecutor said that investigation was ongoing and urged the court to remand the defendants in prison custody pending the outcome of investigations.
