Man, 48, In Police Net Over S*x With Neighbour’s 10-Year Old Girl 

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Youdoro Street, Makoko area of Lagos, where they reside.

The Police alleged that the suspect, Buokumo, lured the girl into his apartment, forcefully engaged her in the act by penetration and thereafter allowed her to go but she revealed what happened to her parents.

The matter was reported to Yaba Police Division and the suspect was arrested and transferred to the SCID Yaba for further investigation.

After thorough interrogation, he was found culpable and then charged before the Yaba Magistrates Court for the alleged offence.

When he was arraigned, the Court did not take his plea after the prosecutor,  Supol Thomas Nurudeen, asked the Court to refer the matter to the DPP for advice because of the nature of the offence alleged to have been committed.

The Presiding Magistrate,  Mr. P.E. Nwaka, ordered his remand in the Correctional Centre at Kirikiri town, Lagos, pending when the DPP’s report will be ready and directed the prosecutor to duplicate the file and send it to the DPP.

The matter was adjourned 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.
