A 27-year old man, Muees Amoo, has landed in trouble for allegedly luring and engaging a 14-year old girl in sex inside a shop at a building complex in Lagos State. 

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened on 2nd June, 2025, at the complex at Pen-Cinema, Agege area of Lagos.

According to the Police, the suspect lured the victim to one of the shops at the complex, confused and engaged her in sex without her consent.

However, while they were still in the act,  they were caught and the matter was reported to the Police at Pen-Cinema Division. The suspect was arrested and transferred to the Gender Section of the Lagos State Police Command for interrogation over his alleged conduct.

After thorough interrogation, the Police found him culpable and charged him before the Ogba Magistrate Court for the alleged offence which attracts several years of imprisonment.
