CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A 48-year old man, Ogolo John, has been arrested in Lagos State for allegedly engaging two under aged girls, 10 and 11, in sex romp. 

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Adebayo Street off Orile, Oshodi area of Lagos, where they reside. 
The Police alleged that the suspect, John, lured the girls to his apartment and engaged them in sex one after the other. He was said to have been secretly doing so before the information leaked.
The girls were confronted by their parents and they opened up. They revealed how the suspect, John, was sleeping with them but asked them not to tell anybody what he was doing to them.

The action has landed John in serious trouble because the matter was reported to the Police and he was arrested. The Police in the area later transferred him to the Gender Section of the Command for further interrogation.

After thorough interrogation, he was found culpable and subsequently charged before the Ogba Magistrates Court for defilement, which attracts several years of imprisonment if he is tried and found guilty before the Court.

However, when he was arraigned, the prosecutor, Supol Bisi Ogunleye, asked the Court to refer the matter to the DPP for advice since the victims were still minors.

The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. E  Kubeinje, 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 DPP.

The matter was adjourned till 17th March, 2022, for report of the DPP to be available, which will determine if the matter will be transferred to the High Court or not over jurisdiction.
