The magistrate, Mrs A.O. Salawu, ordered that Ogunyemi, be remanded in Ikoyi Prisons, pending advice from State Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp. Kehinde Olatunde, had told the court that the defendant committed the offence on March 31, at 5.10p.m., at Onipetesi Estate, Idi-Mangoro, Lagos.
Ogunyemi, 45, who resides at No. 17, Alhaji Ede St., Igando, was docked on a count charge of murder.
He said that Ogunyemi used his Ak47 rifle to gun down 36-year-old Kolade Johnson.
The prosecutor said that the offence contravened the provisions of Section 223 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
Section 223 stipulates a death sentence if convicted.
Olatunde, informed the court that he had a remand application order by the police to remand the defendant for the next 30 days.
The plea of the defendant was not taken by the court.
Counsel to the defendant, Sola Adeyemi, had urged the court to instead remand the defendant for the next 14 days as against the application of the prosecutor.
Magistrate Salawu granted the application of the prosecutor and ordered 30 days remand and adjourned the case until May 6.
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Kolade, father of one, was shot dead by Ogunyemi, who served in the Anti-Cultism Unit of Lagos State Police Command.
