Man, 35, In Police Net For Forcefully Engaging 16-Year Old Girl For S*xual Satisfaction 

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Akinwowo Street, Egbeda in Alimosho area of Lagos, where they reside.

Apart from carousing her mouth, the suspect, Oladimeji, was alleged to have removed her skirt and pants as well as removing his own trouser in order to forcefully have sex without her consent before he was caught.

The matter was reported to the Police at Ipaja Division and he was arrested and detained for interrogation over his conduct. And after thorough interrogation, the Police found him culpable and subsequently charged him before the Ogba Magistrates Court for statutory rape.

The Court did not take his plea when he was arraigned following a motion moved by the prosecutor, Supol Akeem Raji, asking the Court to refer the matter to the DPP for advice since the victim is still a minor.

The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. B.O Osunsanmi, ordered his remand in custody pending the outcome of the DPP’s advice and directed the prosecutor to duplicate the file and send it to the DPP.

The matter was then adjourned till 16th March, 2023, for the report of the DPP’s advice to be available, which will determine if the matter will be transferred to the High Court or not over jurisdiction.
