An Ikeja magistrates’ court in Lagos State, on Thursday, ordered the remand of a 30-year-old man, Saheed Safuraini, for defiling a 14-year-old girl.
The police arraigned Safuraini on a two-count charge of sexual assault and breach of peace.
The Prosecutor, ASP. Kehinde Ajayi, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on October 29, on Idi Aba Street, Epe, Lagos.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Safuraini’s plea was not taken, as the Magistrate, Mrs O.A. Ajibade, ordered that the case file be sent to the office of the Director of Public Prosecution for legal advice and adjourned the case to December 9.
