An Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos State on Thursday ordered remand of a 33-year-old commercial motorcyclist, Oluwatobi Adedapo, who allegedly defiled his neighbour’s daughter.
The Chief Magistrate, B. O. Osunsanmi, did not take the defendant’s plea, but ordered that he should be kept at Kirikiri Correctional Centre until October 27, 2022 for advice from Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions.
The defendant, who resides at 5, Remilekun Street, Adamo, Ikorodu, Lagos, is charged with defilement.
