A Lagos State High Court in Igbosere, on Wednesday, remanded a Togolese cook in prison custody over the alleged murder of his boss, Chief Opeyemi Bademosi, the Chief Executive Officer of Credit Switch Ltd.

Justice Mobolanle Okikiolu-Ighile gave the order following Sunday Anani’s arraignment by the Lagos State Government on a two-count charge of murder and armed robbery.

The charge was read and interpreted to French for the defendant after his counsel, the Director of the Office of the Public Defender (OPD), Mrs Adenrera Adeyemi, informed the court that Anani did not understand English language.

The prosecutor alleged that Anani, 22, stabbed Bademosi, 67, to death with a knife and stole his valuables, including his phone.

Anani, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The cas has been adjourned to  May 21 for trial. (NAN)
