An Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court in Ibadan on Thursday remanded a 24-year-old Nurudeen Hammed in a correctional facility, for allegedly killing his grandfather and uncle.

Hammed, whose address was not provided, is standing trial on a two-count charge bordering on murder.

The Magistrate, Mrs Oluwabusayo Osho did not take the plea of the defendant for want of jurisdiction.

She directed the police to return the case file to the office of the Directorate for Public Prosecution (DPP), for legal advice.

Osho, thereafter, adjourned the case until Nov. 12 for mention.

Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp Olalekan Adegbite, told the court that the defendant committed the offences on Sept. 8 at  7.20 p.m. at Apete area of Ibadan.

Adegbite said that the defendant unlawfully caused the death of two people, his 80-year-old grandfather, Mr Jimoh Oyekola, and his 46-year-old uncle, Mr Semiu Oyekola.

The prosecutor said that the defendant killed the two men by strangulating his grandfather and by hitting a power bank on his uncle’s jaw.

He told the court that defendant usually stole from his grandfather’s house.

Adegbite said that on the fateful day, Hammed attacked his grandfather and uncle, “when they tried to prevent him from stealing from their house”.

According to him, Hammed strangled his grandfather and hit his uncle with a power bank, when he tried to rescue the old man.

He said the offences contravened Sections 319 and 316 of the Criminal Law of Oyo State, 2000.
