Man Remanded For Defiling 9-Year-Old Girl
A Lagos State Magistrate Court sitting in Badagry on Wednesday remanded a 44-year-old man, Sunday Lukas, in custody, for allegedly defiling a nine-year-old girl.
The police prosecutor, Ayodele Adeosun, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on May 28, at 12.20 pm, at No. 4, Aribena Street, Ijanikin area of Lagos.
He said that Lukas indecently assaulted the nine-year-old girl by inserting his fingers in her private part.
The prosecutor said the offence contravened Section 135 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
When the count charges were read to the accused, he pleaded not guilty.
While ruling, the Chief Magistrate, Mr Patrick Adekomaiya, ordered that Lukas be remanded at the Awarjigoh Correctional Centre, Baagry.
He ordered that the case file be duplicated and sent to the office of the Director for Public Prosecution, DPP for legal advice.
Adekomaiya, however, adjourned the case until Oct. 28 for a ruling on the bail application filed by Lukas and for DPP’s legal advice.
