Man Beats Son To Death For Stealing Neighbour’s Belt

45-year-old man, Sikiru Adebayo,
was on Thursday arraigned in an
Osogbo Chief Magistrates’ Court for
allegedly beating his son to death.
Adebayo is facing a count of
murder. The prosecutor, Sgt. Duro
Adekunle, told the court that the
defendant committed the offence
on July 31, at Abidogun Zone 7
area of Osogbo.
Adekunle said that the defendant
flogged his son, Uthman Adebayo
to death after the son stole a belt
belonging to a neighbour.
He said the offence contravened
Section 319(1) of the Criminal
Code, Cap 34 Vol. 11 Laws of Osun,
2003. Defence counsel, Mudashiru
Balogun, prayed the court to grant
his client bail on the most liberal
terms.
Balogun said that the case file
released from the office of the
Directorate of Public Prosecutions
indicted a manslaughter charge
against his client.
The plea of the defendant was not
taken.
The Magistrate, Mrs Fatimoh
Sodamade, ordered remand of the
defendant in police custody and
amendment of the charge to reflect
manslaughter as indicated by the
DPP.
The case was adjourned until Aug.
11 for mention.
