A Kaduna High Court on Tuesday ordered that two brothers be remanded in a correctional centre for alleged culpable homicide and armed robbery.
The police charged Hamza Jibrin, 27 and Yusuf Jibrin 24, with conspiracy, armed robbery and culpable homicide.
Justice Aisha Shagari ordered the remand of the defendants, after they pleaded not guilty to the charge preferred against them.
Shagari adjourned the matter to Dec. 12 for hearing.
Earlier, the prosecutor, James Edward, said both brothers and two others at large, armed with machete and other dangerous weapons on Airport Road, Kaduna, on Nov. 7, robbed and caused the death of a 26-year-old man, Rabiu Sani.
He said the defendants stole the deceased’s HP laptop, two cell phones, his wallet which contained two ATM cards and N30,000.
Edward said the offence is punishable under the Robbery and Firearms (Special Provision) Act LFN, 2004.
The defence counsel, Habiba Usman, had pleaded with the court to grant her clients on literal terms, adding that the defendants would be of good behaviour and would not jump bail.
