Feranmi, whose address was not given, is facing a two-count change of reckless driving and manslaughter.
The police Prosecutor, Joshua Oladoye, told the court that the accused drove his Honda car with registration number Lagos, MUS 187 CU in a reckless manner and caused the death of a 16-year-old boy, Olasunkanmi Pelumi, on Jan. 4, at about 11:30a.m.

Magistrate Olusegun Ayilara granted the accused bail in the sum of N500, 000 with two sureties in like sum.
The case was adjourned until Jan. 30, for hearing.
