An Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos on Friday ordered that a 29-year-old man, Jimoh Semiju, be remanded in the Ikoyi Correctional Centre for allegedly defiling a 16-year-old girl.
The police charged Abiodun with defilement.
Chief Magistrate Ejiro Kubeinje did not take the plea of Abiodun.
Kubeinje adjourned the case until May 4 to enable the police file the case in a court of competent jurisdiction.
She alleged that Abiodun lured the 16-year-old girl into his room and defiled her.
The offence, she said, contravenes the provisions of Section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015. (NAN)
