Kolade Johnson Killer, Police Inspector Olalekan Ogunyemi Dismissed, Remanded In Prison For Murder
An Ebute Meta Magistrates’ Court, Lagos, on Friday ordered the remand of Olalekan Ogunyemi, ex-police inspector charged with murdering 36-year-old Kolade Johnson.
The magistrate, Mrs A.O. Salawu, ordered that Ogunyemi, be remanded at Ikoyi Prisons, pending advice from State Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp. Kehinde Olatunde, had told the court that the defendant committed the offence on March 31, at 5.10p.m., at Onipetesi Estate, Idi-Mangoro, Lagos.
Ogunyemi, 45, who resides at No. 17, Alhaji Ede St., Igando, was docked on a count charge of murder. He said that Ogunyemi used his Ak47 rifle to gun down Kolade Johnson. The prosecutor said that the offence contravened the provisions of Section 223 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
Section 223 stipulates a death sentence if convicted. Olatunde, informed the court that he had an application for a remand order to keep the defendant for the next 30 days. The plea of the defendant was not taken by the court.
Counsel to the defendant, Sola Adeyemi, had urged the court to instead remand the defendant for the next 14 days as against the application of the prosecutor.
Magistrate Salawu granted the application of the prosecutor and ordered 30 days remand and adjourned the case until May 6.

Very useless country with equally useless citizens… Apologies to the good ones.
Number one in religious matters; number one in evil and ungodliness… What do you expect when their religious leaders have abandoned the business of evangelism and embraced the devil for money making. I only pity the poor dingbats out there who make these scammers rich with their hard earned tithes.
Scammers that can’t purge their country of evil… If they used the same “Tithe and offering scamming” energy to preach the gospel of Godliness to those gullible sheep (sheep – literally and figuratively), Nigeria would be a better place.
Prophet Elijah single handedly “gbé Jezebel and King Ahab sárè,” in addition to stopping rain for good three years. Who says God is not the same yesterday, today and forever? We are the ones that have stopped serving Him the way we did yesterday.

Did you know the prophets in the Bible single handed looked evil in the eye and dealt squarely with it? Yet we have thousands of these self ordained pastors in the country. No one is talking about coming together, fasting and seeking the face of God and delivering the country from the devil’s shackles. All Nigerian pastors are good at us scamming and spending the loot on their children, concubines and prostitutes. I weep for that country.
