Court Remands Man For Allegedly Defiling Five-Year-Old Girl in Lagos

Justice Abiola Soladoye of Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court, on Wednesday, remanded a man, Ismaila Adamu, for allegedly ejaculating on a five-year-old girl.

Adamu was arraigned on two charges of indecent treatment of a child and sexual assault, offences which contravened Sections 135 and 263 (1)(2) of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015.

However, he pleaded not guilty.

The Lagos State counsel, Abimbola Abolade, told the court that the defendant committed the offences on June 25, 2021, on Atan road, Surulere, Lagos.

Abolade submitted that the defendant deceived the minor by taking off her clothes and pant to ejaculate on her body.

Justice Soladoye ordered that the defendant be kept at the Kirikiri Custodial Centre pending the hearing of his bail application.

Soladoye adjourned the case until May 9 for hearing of the bail application.
