A 34-year-old student of Osun State University, Osogbo, Akanbi David was, on Tuesday, remanded in Ilesa Prison by an Osogbo Chief Magistrates’ Court over alleged murder of his colleague, Amodu Kazeem.
The accused is facing a two count-charge of murder and conspiracy.
The Chief Magistrate, Mr Olusola Aluko, said he ordered the remand of the accused due to the magnitude of the offence against him.
The accused’s plea was not taken by the court.

Earlier, the Prosecutor, ASP Mireti Wilson, told the court that the accused committed the offense on January16 at about 5.00p.m., at Oke-Baale, Osogbo.
