A Chief Magistrate’s Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti has ordered the remand of two men, Adediran Adeola, 28, and Emmanuel Adebola, 30, in a correctional facility over alleged armed robbery.
The prosecutor, ASP Akinwale Oriyomi, informed the court that there was probable cause to remand the defendants, who are reasonably suspected of conspiring to commit armed robbery.
He told the court that the alleged offence is contrary to and punishable under Sections 314 and 312(2)(a) and (b) of the Criminal Law of Ekiti State, 2021, and was allegedly committed within the Ado-Ekiti Magisterial District on or about July 19, 2026.
ASP Oriyomi said there was a need to obtain legal advice, noting that the duplicate case file had been forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for the necessary advice.
He, therefore, urged the court to grant his ex parte application.
Ruling on the application, the Chief Magistrate, Mr Abayomi Adeosun, granted the request and ordered that the defendants be remanded in a correctional facility for 30 days.
