IBADAN — A 35-year-old  farmer, Salisu Kwame, was yesterday arraigned before an Ibadan Chief  Magistrate’s court at Iyaganku for allegedly killing a 15-year-old nomad.

The prosecutor, Police Inspector  Adewale Amos, said that the defendant was arraigned on a one- count charge of murder.

He said  Kwame committed the  act on July 12 at Alaga area of Ibadan.

Amos said the defendant inflicted machete cuts on one  Haruna Atiku  for allegedly allowing his  cows to graze on his farmland.

He said the victim was rushed to an undisclosed hospital,  but died from  complications of the injury.

The plea of the defendant was, however,  not taken.

Chief Magistrate Fatima Badrudeen ordered the defendant to be remanded in Agodi Prison.

She directed the police to forward  a  duplicate copy of the  case file to the  Director of  Public Prosecution for legal advice.

The case was  adjourned to Sept. 18  for further hearing.
