A 26-year-old security man, Paul Oko has been charged by an Ikeja Magistrate Court for allegedly sexually molesting an 11-year-old girl under his watch.

The Chief Magistrate, Olufunke Sule-Amzat, refused to listen to the plea of the defendant, who lives at Olalusi Street, Ikorodu, therefore ordered that the defendant be remanded in Kirikiri Prison.

Sule-Amzat ordered the police to send the case file to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for advice.

NAN reported that the Prosecutor, ASP Benson Emuerhi, had earlier told the court that the defendant committed the offence on April 24 at 3 p.m. at his security post at Train Field Nursery and Primary School, Irawo New site, Ikorodu, Lagos State.

Emuerhi alleged that the defendant sexually assaulted the minor.

“The security man who works with the school as a guard, unlawfully defiled the pupil by forcefully having sexual intercourse with her,” he said.
