 Teenager remanded for alleged murder of classmate in Ondo

 


A Chief Magistrate in Ondo State, Olateju Odenusi-Fadeyi, has remanded a 15-year-old female student of Anglican Grammar School, Arigidi Akoko, for allegedly stabbing her 17-year-old colleague, Habib Salau, to death.


The magistrate ordered her remand at the Ondo State Juvenile Home in Akure, pending advice from the office of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP).


The magistrate, however, did not take her plea.


The student is standing trial for allegedly stabbing the 17-year-old deceased, Habib Salau, with a knife during a scuffle between them after school hours.


The defendant was brought to court on a two-count charge of conspiracy and murder.


The Prosecutor, Josephine Awana, told the court that the young offender and one other, currently at large, conspired to commit murder on October 3, around 3:30 p.m., at Imo, Arigidi Akoko.


Awana alleged that the defendant killed Salau by stabbing him with a knife during a fight.


The prosecutor informed the court, “The defendant accused the deceased of accosting her on the way home after a misunderstanding between them.


“It resulted in a fight, and the defendant said someone gave her a knife and ordered her to stab the deceased in the neck.”


The offences, according to the prosecution, contravene Sections 124 and 319(1) of the Criminal Code Laws of Ondo State, 2006.
