He alleged that the accused murdered his employer, Opeyemi Bademosi, Chairman of Credit Switch Technology, in an attempt to rob him

“In an attempt to rob the deceased, the accused stabbed him to death with a kitchen knife.

“My Lord, due to the nature of this case, we pray that the accused be remanded in prison for about 30 days so that a thorough investigation can be carried out,” he said.

The offence, he said, contravened the provisions of Section 222 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
