Chief Magistrate Patricia Adetuyibi, sitting at A Family Court in Iyaganku, Ibadan, on Thursday remanded two men—James Thomas, 35, and Segun Adesina, 61—for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl.

Adetuyibi, who did not take the plea of the defendants due to lack of jurisdiction, ordered their remand at Abolongo Correctional Facility in Oyo Town.

She directed that the case file be forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions in the state Ministry of Justice for advice.

Adetuyibi adjourned the matter to Oct. 20 for mention.

The prosecution counsel, Insp. Folake Ewe, told the court that Thomas, between January and July at Oke-Ola in Ejioku area of Ibadan, allegedly had unlawful sexual intercourse with the girl.

She said Adesina, sometime in 2021 at the same address, also allegedly had unlawful sexual intercourse with the victim without her consent.

Ewe said the offences contravened Section 34 of the Oyo State Child Rights Law, 2006. (NAN)
