The counsel to the police Cyril Ejiofor asked the court to remand Chidinma and one Adedepo Quadri for their alleged complicity in the death of Ataga Usifo pending the determination of the court of their alleged culpability in the crime.
In her ruling magistrate Adedayo explained that in view of no opposition from the defense counsel, the two suspects should be remanded as requested.
The case was later adjourned until September 5th, 2021 for review of the remand DPP’s advice.
The second defendant, Adedapo Quadri had no legal representation during the sitting.
