CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A 10-year old boy was allegedly defiled after he was raped through his anus by a 25-year old man, Sank Aliu, inside a garage in Lagos in order to satisfy his sexual desire.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at New Garage area of Agege, Lagos, where they reside.

According to Police sources, the suspect lured the victim into a place, removed his clothes and forcefully penetrated his anus in order to satisfy his sexual desire.

However, after the dastardly act, the boy reported what happened to his parents and the matter was reported to the Police in the area. The suspect, Aliu, was then arrested and transferred to the Gender Section of the Command in Lagos.

After thorough interrogation, the Police found him culpable and later charged him before the Ogba Magistrates Court for the alleged offence.

The Court did not take his plea following a motion by the prosecutor, Inspector Lucky Ihiehie, for the Court to refer the matter to the DPP for advice.

Hence the Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. O. A. Layinka, ordered his remand in Correctional Centre at Kirikiri town, Lagos, pending the outcome of the DPP’s advice.

The Court directed the prosecutor to duplicate the file and send to the DPP and adjourned the matter till 9th September, 2021, while the defendant will be in custody pending the outcome of the DPP’s advice, which will determine if the matter will be transferred to the High Court or not over jurisdiction.
