An Iyaganku Magistrate’s Court, Ibadan, on Tuesday, remanded a 50-year-old man, Ismaila Aborode, in a correctional facility for allegedly owning a gun, life and expended cartridges
Aborode, whose address was not provided, was charged with unlawful possession of firearms.
The Magistrate, Mrs Gladys Oladele, did not take the defendant’s plea for want of jurisdiction.
She directed the police to return the case file to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for legal advice.
The Magistrate adjourned the case until Jan. 7, 2025 for mention.
The Prosecutor, Sgt. Samuel Owolabi told the court that the defendant allegedly committed the offence on Nov. 30, about 5.00 p.m., in the Olede area of Ibadan.
Owolabi said the defendant unlawfully possessed one locally made double barrel gun, one life cartridge, and one expended cartridge without lawful authority.
He said the offence contravened Section 3 of Nigeria’s Robbery and Firearms Laws, 2004.
