Chief Magistrate Mr. Abayomi Adeosun ruled on Wednesday that, as the defendant is a minor, the case should be handled in juvenile court. The boy was remanded in the juvenile home, with the case adjourned to August 16 for further proceedings.

Police prosecutor Inspector Akinwale Oriyomi reported that the incident occurred on August 10 around 8 a.m. in the Omi Olori area of Ado Ekiti. Oriyomi alleged that the boy assaulted Toheeb Adeitan and Tajudeen Adeitan by both beating and stabbing them.

The prosecutor also noted that the defendant allegedly damaged a Vivo handset valued at N19,000 belonging to Basiri Adeitan, and acted in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace. The charges against the boy include violations of Sections 186, 421, and 181(d) of the Ekiti State Laws, 2021.

The defendant pleaded not guilty, and his counsel, Mr. Gboyega Abiola, requested bail for his client, assuring the court that he would not flee.
