An Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court on Monday ordered that a 25-year-old butcher, Ibrahim Aliyu, who allegedly abducted and defiled a 14-year-old girl should be remanded in Kirikiri correctional centre.

The police charged Aliyu, who resides at Oko-oba, Lagos State, with abduction, rape and unlawful sexual intercourse.

Magistrate M.O. Tanimola, gave the order, following a motion moved by the Prosecutor, ASP Victor Eruada, that the matter be referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for legal advice.

The magistrate, who did not take the plea of Aliyu, also directed the prosecutor to duplicate the file and send it to the DPP for advice.

She adjourned the case until Feb. 12.

Earlier, Eruada said that Aliyu and another person at large committed the offence sometime in August and Oct. 3 2021 at his residence.

The offence, he said, contravened the provisions of sections 260, 141 and 173 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State 2015, which stipulates life imprisonment on conviction.
