Sule-Amzat ordered that he should be remanded in Kirikiri Prisons and the police to send the case file to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for advice.

The defendant, who lives at 138 Igando Road, Ikotun a Lagos suburb, is facing a four-count charge bordering on unlawful sexual assault and defilement according to reports.

The Prosecutor, ASP Benson Emuerhi, had earlier informed the court that the defendant on April 18, unlawfully and indecently assaulted the girl at his residence.

“The defendant sexually abused and defiled his neighbour’s daughter by forcefully penetrating into her private part,” he said.
