A 40-year-old man, Abiodun Fatunmise, accused of killing his 11-month-old baby, has been remanded in prison.

According to him, the offence contravened the provisions of sections 316, 319 (1) and 324 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Osun, 2002.
The magistrate adjourned the case until June 13 for mention.
