Teenager allegedly defiles five-year-old at primary school
An Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court, on Friday, ordered the remand of one Tochukwu Akalogwu accused of defiling his neighbour’s five-year-old daughter.
The police charged Akalogwu, 19, with defilement of a minor.
The Magistrate, Mrs E. Kubeinje, did not take Akalogwu’s plea because the court lacks jurisdiction to hear the case.
Kubeinje consequently ordered the police to return the case file to the Director of Public Prosecution for legal advice.
