Abuja man remanded for defiling minor

An area court in Gwagwalada, Abuja, on Monday, ordered that a 28-year-old man, Daniel Ailehe, be remanded in prison for defiling a 16-year-old girl.

Ailehe, who resides in Phase 3, Zone 4, Gwagwalada, however, pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutor, Mr Abdullahi Tanko, told the court that one Madam Ugochinyere Nwevo-Onu of Phase 4, Gwagwalada, reported the matter to the police that on July 13, she sent her daughter to the market with N10,000 to buy foodstuff but that the defendant intercepted, kept her in his house and had carnal knowledge of her for four days.

The prosecutor objected to the bail application made by the defence counsel, Mr M. M. Isah.

The Judge, Mr Sani Umar, adjourned the case to August 3. (NAN)
