A 24-year-old, Chinedu Eze, who allegedly attempted to kidnap a seven-year-old girl, was on Friday brought before an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court.
The police are prosecuting the accused for a charge of attempted kidnap.
Prosecutor Kehinde Omisakin told the court that the accused committed the offence on January 26 at 3.00 p.m. at No. 24, Lasi Street, Kudehinbu in Ijegun, a Lagos suburb.

Further hearing has been fixed for March 17.
