CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A 42-year old man, Adeyemi Adeyemilekan, has been arrested after he was allegedly caught having sex with his neighbour’s 10-year old girl.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Ijeshatedo Road in Surulere area of Lagos where they reside.

The police alleged that the suspect lured the victim into his apartment, removed her pant and engaged her in a sex romp.
However, while the romp was going on, one of their neighbours who suspected the girl’s movement into Adeyemi’s apartment alerted other neighbours including her parents.
The victim’s parents then forced the suspect to open the door and the 10-year old girl was rescued. When asked what she was doing in the suspect’s apartment, she opened up and said she was forced into the act by the suspect.
The matter was reported to the police in the area and the suspect was arrested. The matter was later transferred to the Gender Section of the Police Command for interrogation.
P.M.EXPRESS scooped that the suspect admitted committing the offence but claimed that it was the work of the devil and he did not forcefully penetrate her.
The police found him culpable and charged him before the Ogba Magistrates Court for defilement.
The offence was said to be a serious one and attracts several years of imprisonment if he is tried and found guilty.
The prosecutor, Supol E Ayorinde, asked the court to order for the DPP’s advice to determine where the matter will be tried.
Thus, the Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. B.O. Osunsanmi, ordered Adeyemi to be remanded in prison custody without an option of bail.
The Court also directed the prosecutor to duplicate the file and send to the DPP for advice.
It was gathered that if the DPP finds him culpable, the matter will be transferred to the High Court for trial.
The matter was adjourned till 8th April, 2019, for the report of the DPP’s advice to be ready.
