An Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, has ordered the remand of the former chairman of Park Management System in the state, Mukaila Lamidi, also known as Auxiliary. He was remanded at the Agodi Correctional Centre for alleged murder.
Chief Magistrate Olabisi Ogunkanmi ordered the remand of Lamidi on Thursday due to a lack of jurisdiction.
Newspot recalls that the suspect had earlier been paraded by the Oyo State Police Command on Thursday morning.
The suspect had earlier been declared wanted by the police before he was arrested a few days ago by men of the Department of State Service, DSS.
Ogunkanmi, while speaking, said the remand was pending the issuance of legal advice from the state Director of Public Prosecution.
She, thereafter, adjourned the matter till July 11, for mention.

The Fawole further said that the offences were committed by the suspect and others who are still at large at Baba-Onilu Shopping Complex, Iwo Road, Ibadan.

She maintained that the offences are punishable under Sections 319, l1l, 390 (9), 324 and 516 of the Criminal Code Laws of Oyo State 2000.
