An Ilorin Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday ordered the remand of the suspected killers of Oba Segun Aremu, the Olukoro of Koro in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State.
The thirteen suspects are to be remanded at a correctional centre in Ilorin, the state capital.
The suspects were standing trial before the Magistrate’s Court for alleged criminal conspiracy, culpable homicide, kidnapping, and giving false information.

According to the Police First Information Report, Aremu Simon Adeyemi reported the case of the murder of Olukoro to the Eruku Police Division.
“The suspects pointed a gun at him, ordering him to follow them when he challenged them after noticing their movement around his grandson.
“He said his grandson escaped through the backdoor while the suspects proceeded to kill the monarch, kidnap his wife, and one Mercy,” the report quoted Adeyemi as saying.
Police prosecutor Abdullah Sanni informed the court of the motion ex parte attached to the police report, urging the court to remand the suspects.
In her ruling, Magistrate Monisola Kamson ordered that the suspects be remanded at the Federal Correctional Centre and adjourned the matter to March 5, 2024
