A Magistrates’ Court in Iyaganku, Ibadan on Thursday ordered that  two men be remanded in a correctional centre for allegedly defiling a 15-year-old.

The police charged Adesoji Adedeji, 37, and Yusuf Taiwo, 37, with conspiracy and defilement.

Magistrate I. O Osho did not take the plea of Adedeji and Taiwa for want in jurisdiction.
