A 32-year-old man, Seyi Lawal, was on Wednesday remanded in prison custody by an Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court in Ibadan, for allegedly causing the death of one Olawale Feyisetan.
Chief Magistrate Fatima Badrudeen remanded Lawal at the Agodi Prison pending the duplication of the case file for legal advice.
Lawal was arraigned on a one-count charge of causing the death of a man.
The prosecutor, Insp. Adewale Amos, alleged that Lawal unlawfully caused the death of a driver, Feyisetan, 41, by engaging in a fight with him over a N10 change.
He said that after the intervention of other passengers, Feyisetan slumped and died.
The offence was said to have been committed on May 5 at about 7.30 a.m. at Iwo Road, Ibadan.
The plea of the accused was not taken, even as Amos said that the offence contravened Section 316 (1) of the Criminal Code Cap. 38, Vol. 11, Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
The case was adjourned till June 30 for mention.
