CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A 28-year old man, Abdulraman Arizika, has done the unthinkable after he allegedly lured a 9-year old girl and engaged her in sex inside a market in Lagos State.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Mile 12 Market square in the morning at about 8am on 8th December, 2021, in a corner of the market.

However, while he was in the act, he was caught by security men around, who forced him to remove his dick from her private part and handed over to the Police for interrogation over the act.

After thorough interrogation, the Police found him culpable and subsequently charged him before the Ogba Magistrates Court for defilement, which attracts life imprisonment if he is tried and found guilty before the Court.

When he was arraigned, the Court ordered his remand in custody without an option of fine following a motion moved by the prosecutor, Supol Akeem Raji, who asked the Court to refer the matter to the DPP for advice.

Hence, the Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. E. Kubeinje granted the motion and directed the prosecutor to duplicate the file and send it to DPP.

The matter was adjourned till 14th January, 2022, for the report of the DPP to be available, which will determine if the matter will be transferred to the High Court or not over jurisdiction.
