Ogun State: 26-Year-Old Man Rapes His Friend's 3-Year-Old Daughter

A 26-year-old Welder was on Thursday remanded in prison by a chief magistrate’s court sitting in Isabo, Abeokuta  for allegedly defiling a three-year-old child.

Dare Ojo was ordered to be remanded in Oba Prison by the chief magistrate, Anthony Araba.

The prosecutor, Inspector Banji Sangotokun, had told the court that the accused committed the offence on February 15, 2014, at the Ogunji Estate, Somorin, Abeokuta.

Her father had handed her over to Ojo, his friend, to help take her home but he took her into an uncompleted building and abused her.

“He was caught in the act by a farmer who raised alarm and alerted people close to the building,’’ Sangotokun said.

According to the prosecutor, the offence contravened Section 218 of the Criminal Laws of Ogun, 2006.
Ojo plead not guilty to the charge. Araba adjourned the case to March 6.
