The other accused persons were, however, present in court. A prison officer, Mr. O. Osamuyiwa, told the court that the Olukere was “seriously sick” and on admission at the prison clinic. He told the court that Obasoyin was to be referred to Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti, for further medical attention. Counsel to the accused persons, Mr. Ademola Adeyemi, opposed the reading of the charge in the absence of the Olukere. According to the remand order form marked MAD/181fk/17, the accused persons were charged with conspiracy, attempted murder of Ayodele Osanyinbola and murder of Kolade Adefemi.
