Wakili Charged for Murder, Kidnapping, Robbery and Conspiracy
An Iyaganku Chief Magistrate Court 1 sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State has ordered suspected Fulani warlord in Ibarapaland, Abdullahi Wakili, 70, be remanded in a correctional facility.
The police charged Wakili alongside his sons Abu, 45 and Samaila, 27 as well as Aliyu Manu, 20 with six counts bordering on conspiracy, murder, kidnapping and armed robbery.
The Chief Magistrate, Emmanuel Idowu, who did not take the plea of the suspects for want in jurisdiction, remanded them in Abolongo Correctional facility in Oyo State.
Idowu ordered the police to return the case file to the Oyo State Directorate of Public Prosecution.
When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of the state police command, Olugbenga Fadeyi said the suspect was arraigned on a four charge conspiracy, murder, kidnapping and armed robbery.
Recall that Iskilu Wakili was arrested two weeks ago by some men of Oodua People’s Congress loyal to the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams. Some of the OPC members that arrested Wakili were arrested by the police and later released on bail based on their health conditions.
