Court remands 2 over robbery in Ibadan

An Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court sitting in Ibadan on Thursday remanded two men, Ayomide Akanbi and David Adewole at Agodi Correctional facility for alleged armed robbery.

Akanbi (32) and Adewole (470 are standing trial on a two-count charge of conspiracy and robbery.

The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Olabisi Ogunkanmi, did not take the plea of the defendants due to lack of jurisdiction.

She, however, ordered that the defendants be remanded at Agodi Correctional facility in Ibadan, pending the advice of the Directorate of Public Prosecution and adjourned the case until January 29, 2025 for mention.
