20 Years Old Man Charged With Defiling 13 Years Old Girl
An Ikeja Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday ordered the remand of an unemployed 20-year-old Toheeb Mustapha, who allegedly inserted his finger into a minor’s private part.
The defendant, who resides in Igando, is standing trial on a count charge of defilement.
The magistrate, Mrs A.O Ajibade, who did not take the defendant’s plea, referred the case file to the state’s Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for advice.
Mrs Ajibade ordered that the defendant be kept at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre, pending the advice from DPP.
She adjourned the case until December 12 for mention.
The prosecutor, Kehinde Ajayi, had told the court that the defendant committed the offence on October 6 at his residence.
“The defendant called the girl into his room on the pretext of sending her on an errand.
“He inserted his finger into her private part and released her to go, after he had satisfied himself.
“When the girl’s mother noticed that her daughter had suddenly withdrawn from her usual self and was at most times moody, she asked her questions.
