The former chairman of Oyo Motor Park is remanded by the court and adjourned till July 11

The former chairman of the state’s Park Management System, Mukaila Lamidi, popularly known as Auxiliary, was placed under detention at the Agodi Correctional Center on Thursday due to accusations of murder by an Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.

Citing jurisdictional limitations, Chief Magistrate Olabisi Ogunkanmi granted the remand order for the 63-year-old defendant.

After being listed as wanted, Auxillary informed the state police headquarters in June 2023 that doing so was incorrect.

Ogunkanmi then postponed the issue to Thursday, July 11, for further discussion.

The defendant, who was represented by Mr. Tope Olayinka, was charged with four counts, including stealing, conspiracy, and causing death.

Lamidi and some of the others who are still at large are accused of conspiring to perpetrate the listed offenses, according to CSP Funke Fawole, Officer-in-Charge of the Legal Department of the Oyo State Command.

Fawole said, “On June 16, 2021, at about 3.30 p.m., Lamidi and others now at large allegedly caused the death of one Azeez Rahman Abiodun, 36, by stabbing him with a knife in the chest.

“On June 16, 2021, the defendant and others allegedly conspired and stole assorted phones valued at N150m, property of Azeez Hammed Adebayo.”

She added that the crimes were done in the Ibadan neighborhood of Baba-Onilu Shopping Complex, along Iwo Road.

She continued by saying that the offenses violated Sections 383 and 316 and were penalized under Oyo State 2000’s Criminal Code Laws Sections 319, l1l, 390 (9), 324, and 516.
