Agbona adjourned the case until March 16 for mention.
The prosecutor, Inspector Emmanuel Silas, had told the court that Idowu threw a stone which hit and killed one Aniette Udoh, 47.
Silas said the defendant committed the offence at 5:55pm on February 5in  Ikotun area of Lagos
He said: “The deceased was coming back from work on his motorcycle when the defendant threw a stone on his head.
“He lost control, fell and hit his head on a concrete; he was rushed to a hospital where he was confirmed dead.”
The prosecutor said the offence contravened Section 229 of the Criminal Law of Lagos state, 2015.
