A Sabo-Yaba Chief Magistrates’ Court, on Monday, remanded a 42-year-old man, Ekene Agha, in Kirikiri Correctional Centre for allegedly defiling his co-worker’s three-year-old girl.
The Chief Magistrate, Mr Peter Nwaka, directed the prosecutor to make duplicate of the case file and forward a copy to the State Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for legal advice.
She, thereafter, adjourned the case till March 15.
The defendant, whose residential address was not given, is facing a two-court charge of indecent assault and defilement.
