An Osun State High Court sitting in Osogbo has ordered that suspects arrested in connection with the Ile-Ife clash be remanded in prison pending the commencement of the hearing on June 14.
The trial judge, Justice Kudirat Akano gave the order in her ruling, on Friday.
Earlier, the prosecutor had filed an application for the suspects to be remanded in prison after they pleaded not guilty to the 14 counts of murder, armed robbery, arson and others leveled against them.
However, the defence counsel, Muritala Agboola objected to the application but Justice Akano overruled it.
Recall that the suspects were on April 26 arraigned before the Justice Akano-led court.
Some prominent Yoruba leaders condemned the arrest and parade of only Yoruba indigenes by the police.
