CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A 40-year old man, one Mukaila Aliu, has landed in trouble in Lagos after he was caught having sex with a 16-year old girl by the road side at night.

The incident happened at Mafoluku Road in Oshodi area of Lagos where they reside.

What would have led Aliu to engage the victim in sex by the road side could not be ascertained but the police alleged that on 10th December, 2018, at about 8pm, Aliu allegedly lured the victim by the dark side of the road and penetrated her from the back.
However, while he was still in the act, the neighbours caught them, forced him to disengage from her and he was handed over to the police in the area.
The matter was transferred to the Gender Section of the State Command where he was interrogated and Aliu reportedly confessed.
He was later charged before the Ogba Magistrates Court for defilement because of the age of the victim.
The prosecutor, Inspector Benson Emerhi, told the court that it was a case of defilement and would need to seek the advice of DPP.
Thus, the Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. O. Sule-Amzat, did not take his plea and ordered the man to be remanded in prison custody without the option of bail.
The court also directed the prosecutor to send the file to DPP for advice while the defendant will remain in prison pending the outcome of DPP’s report.
The matter was adjourned till 21st January, 2018, for the report of DPP to be available. It was gathered that the matter may be transferred to the High court if the DPP finds the defendant culpable and recommends his trial.
