The accused has also been charged with the killing of Fadipe’s mother-in-law, Mrs. Cecilia Owolabi.
He was re-arraigned before Justice Oluwatoyin Ipaye of a Lagos State High Court in Ikeja.
He pleaded not guilty to each of the five counts filed against him by the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecutions.
The said counts bordered on murder, robbery and assault occasioning harm, said to be contrary to sections 221, 295 (2)(a) and 171 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
The prosecution had alleged that the accused person, while armed with a knife on the night of July 4, 2014, invaded Fadipe’s house at Harmony Estate, Ifako-Ijaiye, robbed the victim of huge sums of money and thereafter stabbed him with a knife, leading to Fadipe’s death.
The charges read in part, “That you, Oluwaseun Oladapo, on the 4th day of July 2014, at about 3am, at No. 1 Harmony Estate, Ifako-Ijaiye, Iju, Lagos, in the Ikeja Judicial Division, while armed with a weapon to wit; a knife, and murdered one Cecilia Owolabi by stabbing her in the chest; and assaulted one Abiola Owolabi and Folahanmi Fadipe by stabbing them with a knife.”
After the plea of the accused had been taken, the prosecution, led by the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecution, Mrs. Idowu Alakija, informed the court that it was ready to open trial.
But counsel for the accused, Worer Obuagbaka, told the court that he needed time to study the file and prepare for the defence of his client.
Obuagbaka said, “The proof of evidence was served on me this morning. My perusal of the proof of evidence showed that there was autopsy report available. This is a serious offence and the defendant needs adequate time to prepare for the trial.”
After listening to the parties, Ipaye adjourned till August 17 and 18 for trial to commence.
