An Ilorin Magistrate court ordered that the accussed be remanded after he appeared before it on a three-count charge of criminal conspiracy, culpable homicide and mischief.
The accused was arrested following a tip-off at the Area Police station by Seriki Hausawa, the village head of Kosa village via Banni, that the accused and others had killed Dangwama, 60, and Dogo Ruwa, 40.

Police said the offences committed by the accused contradict section 97, 221 and 337 of penal code of law.
