Ogunyemi, 45, of No. 17, Alhaji Ede Street, Igando, was docked on a one-count charge of murder.
Prosecuting Inspector Kehinde Olatunde told the court that the defendant committed the offence on March 31, at about 5:10pm, at Onipetesi Estate, Idi-Mangoro, Lagos.

The offences, the prosecutor said contravened Section 223 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
Olatunde informed the court that he had a remand application order by the police to remand the defendant for the next 30 days.
The plea of the defendant was not taken by the court, because magistrates’ court don’t have jurisdiction to try a charge of murder.

In a bench ruling, Magistrate Salawu upheld the prosecutor’s application and adjourned till May 6.
