An Ado-Ekiti Chief Magistrates’ Court, on Wednesday remanded a 50-year-old man, Usman Tajudeen, in the Ado-Ekiti Correctional Centre after he allegedly defiled a little 4-year-old girl.
According to Punch, the police prosecutor, Inspector Monica Ikebuilo, told the court that the defendant allegedly defiled a four-year-old girl on August 21, 2020, in Ikere-Ekiti.
Ikebuilo said, “The defendant and the victim’s parents were neighbours. The victim’s mother noticed that blood was coming out from the victim’s private parts. When the mother asked her, she confessed that the defendant invited her to his house.
“The offence contravenes Section 31(2) of the Child Right Law of Ekiti State, 2012.”
