‘Auxiliary’, also a former chairman of the state Disciplinary Committee of the Park Management System (PMS), is facing trial on 17-count charge bordering on armed robbery, murder, attempted murder, possession of firearm, including one AK-47 assault rifle, two SMG rifle with magazine.
The offence, according to the charge sheet, is contrary to and punishable under Section 1(2)(a) and (b) of the Robbery and Firearms (Special Provisions) Act, CAP RII, Vol.14, Laws of Federation of Nigeria, 2004.
The matter with suit number I/74c/2024: State Versus Mukaila Lamidi (Auxiliary), is before Justice Bayo Taiwo of Fiat Court 2, Oyo State High Court, Ring Road, Ibadan.
The case borders on offences allegedly committed on May 29, 2023 at about 2pm at the Ikolaba, Ibadan home of Governor Seyi Makinde.
The Nation reports that the matter, which was initially before Justice O. A. Adetujoye of Fiat Court 5, was reassigned to Justice Taiwo after the counsel for Auxiliary, Mr Olalekan Ojo, SAN, on November 4, disagreed to allow Justice Adetujoye hear two cases of his client, which led to the case file being returned to the chief judge for reassignment.
The Executive Assistant to Governor Makinde on Security, CP Sunday Odukoya (rtd), was also in court to observe the proceedings.
