The Chief Magistrate, Mrs. O.A.Ajibade, who did not take the plea of Julius, remanded him pending legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

She adjourned the case until September 13 for mention.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, DSP Kehinde Ajayi, alleged the defendant defiled his four daughters aged 16 years, 11 years, 10 years, and seven years respectively.
Ajayi told the court that the defendant committed the offense from August 2020 to July at his residence.
The prosecutor submitted that the defendant was taken into police custody after his wife lodged a complaint at a police station.
