A Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo has adjourned the arraignment of Oyeyemi Ajagungbade Olalekan, popularly called Emir, until March 13, 2024.<\/p>\n

The suit was adjourned on Tuesday as Emir was arraigned in court.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reported in September 2023 that Emir was arrested by operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit of the Osun State Police Command and his case transferred to the Force Headquarters, Abuja.<\/p>\n

The Command had declared him wanted on July 2, 2022, for alleged murder, cultism, and armed robbery.<\/p>\n

Emir is facing charges of murder, kidnapping, and armed robbery before the Federal High Court.<\/p>\n

Governor Ademola Adeleke had appointed him a member of the Transport Disciplinary Committee of the state on January 9, 2023.<\/p>\n

Also, Emir had earlier been arraigned before the court on February 1, 2024, when he was remanded at the Ile-Ife Custodial Facility.<\/p>\n

But at the resumed sitting, the prosecution counsel, R. E. Usman, told the court he brought an amended charge and a motion.<\/p>\n

The defence counsel, Edmond Biriomoni, however, appealed for some time.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had just been served the motion this morning (today) and needed time to respond to the prosecution application.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biriomoni observed that some fundamental defects in the prosecution application could not be raised orally and needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n
