Olayiwola is facing a two-count charge of conspiracy and murder.

The Magistrate, Maruff Mudashiru, did not take his plea for want of jurisdiction.

He directed the police to return the case file to Oyo State Director of Public Prosecutions for advice.

Mudashiru ordered that Olayiwola be kept in a custodial facility pending the advice.
