A prophet, Segun Philip, Bola Adeeko, and her son, Owolabi Adeeko, were on Friday arraigned before an Osun State High Court sitting in Osogbo for the alleged murder of a 400-level Lagos State University student identified as Favour Daley-Oladele.

The prosecutor from the Ministry of Justice, Kemi Bello, had brought the charge before the court.

The trio were charged on two counts of conspiracy and murder contrary to section 319 and 324 criminal Code Laws cap 34, Laws of Osun State.

The charge was not read for the three accused persons and they did not have counsel.
