An Area Customary Court sitting in Agenebode has remanded one Suraju Muaju in prison for allegedly hacking his elder brother to death.
Suraju reportedly committed the offence on August 25.
He was alleged to have killed his brother in the night with a cutlass while the victim was asleep at their father’s residence in Imiegba clan, Estako East local government area of Edo State.
The President of the court, Cyril Usifoh, ordered the suspect be remanded in prison and directed that the case file be taken to the Directorate of Public Prosecution for legal advice.
Also, an 11- year old primary four pupil has told an Ikpoba-Okha Area Customary Court how a 71 year old man, Okunrobo Odia defiled her.
But the suspect said it was the victim that beckoned on him to make love to her, adding that he only “touched her buttocks.”
The victim while giving evidence told the court that the suspect came to buy N10 worth of local gin at her mother’s shop.
According to the victim, the suspect followed her when she went to pick something inside the house and was surprised when he removed his shorts.
She said the suspect removed her pants and inserted his manhood inside her despite crying for help.
The President of the court, Princess Esther Eweka, adjourned the case to November 21 for further hearing.
