The 45-year-old cleric is facing a two-count charge of unlawful sexual intercourse and procuring an abortion.

He added that he gave the girl a drug to terminate the pregnancy when the defendant found out.

According to the prosecutor, the offences contravened Sections 137 and 145(1) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

In the ruling, Chief Magistrate, Mrs F.M. Kayode, who refused to take Olatunji’s plea, ordered that he be remanded at Ikoyi Correctional Centre.
