The magistrate, however, did not take her plea.

The SS3 student, is standing trial for allegedly stabbing the 17-year old deceased, Habib Salau, with a knife during a brawl between them after school hours.

The defendant was arraigned on a two-count charge of conspiracy and murder.

Police Prosecutor, Josephine Awana, had earlier informed the court that the young offender and one other at large, on October 3, about 3:30p.m., at Imo, Arigidi Akoko, conspired to commit murder.

Awana, alleged that the defendant killed Salau, by stabbing him with a knife during a fight.

The prosecutor told the court, “The defendant accused the deceased of accosting her on the way home after a misunderstanding between them.

“It resulted in a fight and the defendant said someone gave her a knife and ordered her to stab the deceased on the neck.”

The offences, according to the prosecution, contravene Sections 124 and 319(1) of the Criminal Code Laws of Ondo State, 2006.

Awana asked the court to remand the offender at the correctional facility, pending the issuance of advice from the DPP.
