An Ilorin, Kwara State Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday remanded a 21-year-old woman, Elizabeth Eze, for allegedly stabbing her brother, Francis, to death over an argument.
The Prosecutor, Sergeant Balikisu Adu, told the court that the accused stabbed her brother on the chest with a knife following a fight over a rubber bucket on February 10 at Chikanda in the Baruteen Local Government Area of Kwara State.
Adu said that the accused was arraigned on a one-count charge of culpable homicide, contrary to Section 221 of the Penal Code.
Adu objected to a bail application for the accused on the ground that the alleged offence was not ordinarily bailable.
Magistrate Nuah Ajide who refused to grant the plea of the accused, ordered her to be remanded at the Okekura Prison, Ilorin.
Ajide adjourned the case to February 26 for mention.
