An Ilorin Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday remanded a father, Solomon Obafemi, 53, for allegedly killing his own son,Victor.
A second person, Richard Obafemi, 20, was also remanded in prison.
The prosecutor, Insp Balikis Adu, told the court that the accused conspired together with Richard who was a brother to the deceased to commit the act.
Adu said the accused used a machete to inflict cuts on the head of the deceased, resulting in his death on April 7 at Kilanko area of Ilorin.
She said that the accused killed the deceased on the allegation that he was a trouble maker.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to charges against them.

She objected to the bail application of the accused on the ground that the alleged offences were not ordinarily bailable.
Magistrate Noah Ajide ordered the remand of the accused at Okekura prison in Ilorin and adjourned the case till April 25 for mention. (NAN)
