Two men have been remanded for allegedly killing a three-month-old baby by throwing the infant into a well.

The men, Oladosu Matthew and Komolafe Idowu, were remanded on the orders of a Modakeke Magistrate’s Court in Osun.

The Magistrate who gave the ruling, Risikat Olayemi, ordered that the men be kept in prison pending their arraignment in a proper court.

She said her court lacked jurisdiction to try the accused.

Both Matthew and Idowu, 20, are facing a two-count charge of murder and assault.

Police Prosecutor Christian Olajide told the court that the accused committed the offences on June 2 at 3.40 p.m. at Boosa area of Modakeke in Ife North-East.

Olajide said the accused conspired and beat the mother of the baby, Mary Adedeji.

He also said that the mother left her three months old baby behind while she ran for her dear life.

The case has been adjourned until Aug. 27.
