A chief magistrate court in Kaduna State yesterday ordered that a 48-year-old man, Nuhu Abdu, who allegedly defiled his neighbour’s five-year-old daughter, be remanded in correction centre, pending legal advice.
Magistrate Hajara Dauda, who refused to take the plea of the defendant, ordered the police to send a copy of the case to the State Director of Public Prosecutions for legal advice.
She then adjourned the case until September 23, for mention.
The prosecution counsel, Insp. Sunday Baba, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on August 19 at his residence.
He said the defendant unlawfully defiled his neighbour’s five-year-old daughter when her parents were at work. (NAN)
