A teenager, Ifeoluwa Dodo, who allegedly shot a man dead, on Tuesday, appeared in an Ebute-Meta Chief Magistrate Court in Lagos State, on charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

The police arraigned Dodo, 19, before Chief Magistrate Tolu Agbona, who  did not take the defendant’s plea.

Agbona ordered that the teenager be kept in the Ikoyi Prison pending  advice from the state director of public prosecutions.

He adjourned the case until Sept. 3 for mention.
