Man In Court For Allegedly Defiling Neigbhour’s Three Daughters

An Ogudu Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday ordered that a 35-year-old man, Christian Ikechukwu, be remanded in Kirikiri Correctional Centre for allegedly defiling his neighbour’s three daughters.

The police charged Ikechukwu, who resides in Orile, Mile 12 with defilement.

However, the court did not take Ikechukwus’s plea following the motion by the Prosecution Counsel, Insp Donjour Perezi, said that the matter should be referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for legal advice.

Magistrate O.M. Ajayi ordered the  prosecutor to duplicate the case file to the DPP for advice.

Kubeinje adjourned the case unti Oct.28 for mention.

Perezi told the court that Ikechukwu committed the offence sometime in January and July at his residence.

He alleged that Ikechukwu defiled three sisters aged 10, nine and four.

The offence, the prosecutor said, contravened the provisions of Section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that defilement attracts life imprisonment if the defendant is found guilty.

Besides the case of the man held for allegedly defiling his neighbour’s three daughters, also in Lagos, the Police on Wednesday arraigned a businessman, Anthony Udebuani before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court in Lagos, for alleged fraud of N600,000 and issuance of dud cheque.

Udebuani,45, who resides at Festac town, Lagos State, was arraigned before Magistrate Mrs R. A. Alejo on a two-count charge of obtaining money under false pretences and issuance of dud cheque.

The defendant, however, denied committing the offences and was admitted to a bail of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum.

Alejo said the sureties should be gainfully employed and show evidence of two years tax payment to the Lagos State Government (LASG).

The Prosecution Counsel, Sgt. Olasunkanmi Adejumola, told the court that the defendant committed the offences on Dec. 20, 2020 at Festac Town, Lagos State.

He said the defendant fraudulently collected the money from Mr Zack Egbunu with the promise to pay back.

Adejumola said the defendant with intent to offset his debt, issued the complainant a cheque of N600,000 which was dishonored for lack of funds.
