The Ekiti State Police Command has arraigned a 12-year-old boy, Olaoluwa Taiwo, before an Ado-Ekiti magistrates’ court over allegedly stabbing two of his brothers.

The prosecutor, Inspector Akinwale Oriyomi, told the court that the defendant on August 10, in the Omi Olori area in Ado-Ekiti assaulted Toheeb Adeitan and Tajudeen Adeitan by beating and stabbing them on the hand and shoulder respectively.

The prosecutor said the defendant also wilfully and maliciously damaged a Vivo handset valued at N19,000 belonging to Basiri Adeitan.

Inspector Oriyomi prayed the court for a short adjournment to enable him to study the case file and present his witnesses.

Counsel to the defendant, Mr Gboyega Abiola, urged the court to grant the defendant bail.

The Magistrate, Mr Abayomi Adeosun, who held that the defendant was a juvenile and should be tried in a juvenile court, remanded him in a juvenile home and adjourned the case to August 16.
