20-year-old Remanded For Raping 5-year-old
« on: October 30, 2013, 06:13:12 PM »


An Ado-Ekiti Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday ordered the remand  of  a 20-year-old,  Oluyi Oba,  for allegedly  raping a five-year-old girl.

The police prosecutor, Mr Emmanuel David, told the court that the accused committed the offence on Oct. 22   at about 1. p.m.  at Iyin-Ekiti.

David alleged that the accused on the said date forcefully had carnal knowledge of the girl (name withheld) which led to her being hospitalised.

He said the offence contravened section 218 of the Criminal Code Cap C 16, Laws of  Ekiti State, 2012.

The plea of the accused was, however, not taken.

Chief Magistrate Simeon Ojo ordered the remand of the  accused in prison custody pending the receipt of legal advice from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution.

He adjourned the case till Nov. 21  for further hearing. (NAN)
