Chief Esuleke who is also a stalwart of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, his son, Kola Adeosun, Akeem Idowu, were brought to court by the state prosecution department on August 5 but the proceedings were stalled due to the defendant being absent from court.<\/p>\n

The defendants were charged with 13 counts of murder, malicious damage, assault, breach of the public fight.<\/p>\n

However, they all pleaded not guilty to the alleged offences pressed against them.<\/p>\n

Justice Ayo Oyebiyi, who presided over the matter, ordered that they should be remanded in Ilesa Correctional Facility and adjourned the matter till September 21st, 2021 for consideration of bail.<\/p>\n
