This issue of rape is getting really serious by the day! i will suggest the government puts a death penalty to these wicked creatures to stop this act from happening! how can a 40 year old man have sex with a four year old girl! God is truly merciful!
A Yaba Magistrates’ Court in Lagos has ordered the remand in prison of a 40-year-old man, Michael Ekebi, over alleged felony. continue..... Police Prosecutor, ASP Felix Ifijen, on Tuesday arraigned Ekebi on a one-count charge of rape.
Ifijen told the court that the accused, of No. 4, Alagba St., Ajegunle Ikorodu, Lagos State, had on Feb. 7 lured a four-year daughter of his neighbour into his room and allegedly had canal knowledge of her.
The prosecution submitted that the offence contravened Sections 137 and 259 of the Criminal Code Laws of Lagos State 2011.
The section prescribes that any person found guilty of defiling a minor, being a felony offence, is liable to life imprisonment.
Ekebi, however, pleaded innocence of the charge, and applied for bail.Opposing the bail application, the prosecutor argued that the accused might jump bail. In her ruling, Chief Magistrate Yewande Aje-Afunwa refused the bail application and ordered the accused to be reminded in prison custody. Aje-Afunwa adjourned the case to March 28.
