An Igbosere Magistrates’ Court in Lagos has ordered that the 22-year-old Togolese cook, Sunday Anani, who allegedly murdered chief Ope Badamosi be remanded in prison for 30 days.
Anani is facing a charge of murder before Chief Magistrate Mrs O.O Oshin.
According to NAN, the prosecutor, J.I Eboseremene told the court that the accused committed the offence on Oct 31, at the deceased’s residence at No. 3b, Onikoyi Lane, Parkview Estate, Ikoyi, Lagos.
He alleged the accused murdered his employer, Opeyemi Badamosi, Chairman of Credit Switch Technology in an attempt to rob him.
“In an attempt to rob the deceased, the accused stabbed him to death with a kitchen knife.
“My Lord, due to the nature of this case, we pray that the accused should be remanded in prison, for about 30 days so a thorough investigation can be carried out,” he said.
The offence contravened the provisions of Section 222 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
In her ruling, Oshin, adjourned until Dec. 18 pending advice from the office of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
