A man identified as Kareem Mojeed has been remanded in Agodi Correctional facility in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Mojeed was remanded by a family court sitting in Iyaganku, Ibadan, Oyo State on Wednesday, August 21, for allegedly defiling his landlord’s seven-year-old daughter.
The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Olabisi Ogunkanmi, who did not take Mojeed’s plea ordered that the case file be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for advice.
Ogunkanmi adjourned the case until October 14, 2024, for DPP’s advice.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, Insp Gbemisola Adedeji, told the court that Mojeed committed the offence on July 21 at 5.00 pm in the Ebedi area of Ibadan.
Adedeji said that Mojeed lured the girl into his room and defiled her. The police said the offence contravenes the provisions of Section 34 of the Oyo State Child’s Rights Law, 2006.
