Inspector Olanibi noted that during investigations, a sim card belonging to the deceased was found in the suspect’s room when the police carried out a search on his apartment.
The magistrate, M.A Olatunji granted the prayer of the defence counsel, Mr S.O Abiona, requesting for a copy of the case file as forwarded to the department of public prosecution.
He however ordered the suspect should be remanded in Ilesa correctional facility pending the advice of the Department of Public Prosecution.
