An Oyo State Family Court sitting at Iyaganku, Ibadan on Monday remanded Basiru Ajadi, 60, at Abolongo Correctional facility for alleged rape of a 14-year-old girl.
Reports indicated that Basiru of Aba Alade area, Olorunsogo, Ibadan, was charged on a count of having unlawful carnal knowledge of a minor.
The Chief Magistrate, Mr. S.H Adebisi, who did not take the plea of the defendant due to lack of jurisdiction, remanded Basiru at Abolongo Correctional facility, Oyo Town.
Adebisi said the defendant should be remanded pending the outcome of the case file at Oyo State Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP).
He adjourned the matter until August 30, for mention.
According to the Prosecutor, Inspector Gbemisola Adedeji, the minor on July 28, at about 7: 00 p.m, allegedly had unlawful carnal knowledge of 14-year-old girl.
Adedeji said the victim was a neighbour’s child and was lured by Basiru before he allegedly raped her.
She said the offence was contrary to Section 34 of the Oyo State Child Right Law 2006.
