A 33-year-old man named Kabiru Arewa has been arraigned before the Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court charged with murder after allegedly killing his 24-year-old wife, Suliyat with a blow using his fist.

The court, presided over by Magistrate Olaolu Olanipekun, on Friday, ordered Arewa’s remand in a correctional facility in Ibadan.

He directed the police to return the case file to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for legal advice and, thereafter, adjourned the case till June 28, for mention.
