Yahoo Boy Who Killed Cheating Girlfriend In Iba Town, Ojo Lagos Remanded
Victor Oji, a young man who allegedly set his girlfriend ablaze in Iba Town in Ojo Lagos, was remanded on Tuesday by an Ebute Meta Magistrates’ Court.
The Magistrate, Mrs A. Kusanu, did not take the teenager’s plea, but ordered that he should be kept at the Ikoyi Custodial Centre, Lagos, pending advice from the state director of public prosecutions.
Kusanu adjourned the case until Feb. 19.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, Insp. Jimah Iseghede, told the court that the defendant committed the murder on Dec. 7, 2019, at 10.00a.m. at No. G549, Army Post Service Estate, Iba Town.
He said that the defendant set ablaze his girlfriend – Tolani Mariam, 24 – because he suspected she was cheating on him.
According to the prosecutor, the deceased told the defendant that she was going to visit her sister who was put to bed, adding that she returned to the boyfriend some days later.
Iseghede said that the defendant later saw in the girlfriend’s phone, a video of her in a hotel taking hard drugs.
This, he said, triggered his action.
The prosecutor noted that murder contravened Section 223 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015, and carried death penalty.(NAN)

Prosecutor are you pleading on this killer or you want to build a case against him? his trial should not take too much time. He should have an accelerated hearing in the court and be sentenced to death.
There is no law that gives him right to take another person’s life. If the justice system let go of this guy, we should expect more. Sometimes we must killl in order to stop lawlessness like this one.
