A driver, Wakili Ajibola, 32, who allegedly pushed another driver into a moving vehicle, has been remanded at the Ikoyi Prisons.
An Ebute-Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos ordered the remand, following arraignment of Ajibola on a murder charge.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the court did not take the accused plea.
Chief Magistrate A. O. Salawu said she needed advice from the state’s Director Of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Earlier, the prosecuting police Inspector, Koti Aodahemba, told the court that the accused committed the offence on December 8 on Orisunbare Street, Ijora Badia.
He said the accused pushed one Mr Patrick Orilolo, 56, into an oncoming vehicle because he cautioned him for recklessly driving a truck marked FST 444 XE.
The prosecutor said the accused alighted from his truck to push the deceased into the vehicle which killed him instantly.
The offence, Aodahemba said, contravened Section 221 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
