A man, Musa Abdullahi, popularly known as Adu, has been remanded in prison for killing his 30-year-old neighbour, Marenyo Manga, while aiming at one Gado Kitako, his relative who is allegedly sleeping with his wife in Kwara State.
Adu was arraigned before a magistrate court on a one-count charge of culpable homicide contrary to Section 221 of the Penal Code.
The charge sheet reads: “The suspect brought out his single-barrel gun during a fight with Kitako, his relative, over an alleged illicit affair with his wife, Ajarah. But while aiming at Kitako, he instead shot his neighbour at Yashikira, Baruten LGA of Kwara State.
“It was after he fired the gun that he realised that the person he shot was not the actual person he wanted to kill.”
The prosecutor, Inspector Oderinde Abideen urged the court to remand the suspect.
The Magistrate, B. A. Bareje, remanded the suspect and adjourned to November 14, 2022.
