The Prosecutor, Sgt Sunday Osanyintuyi, said that the accused persons committed the offence on Sept 15 around 06:00 p.m. at Road 7 Area, Ile-Ife.

No pleas were taken and the Magistrate, Olalekan Ijiyode, rejected an oral application for their bail.

Ijiyode asked the counsel to come with formal bail application for consideration, and adjourned the case till Oct 18 for hearing. (NAN)
