A Chief Magistrates’ Court in Ikorodu Lagos State, on Wednesday, remanded a 54-year-old man, Kajola Ahmed, in a correctional centre for allegedly defiling a 12-year-old girl.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Ahmed, whose address was not provided, was charged with defilement.

The Chief Magistrate, B.A. Sonuga, did not take the defendant’s plea, however.

He adjourned the case until Feb. 27 for legal advice from the office of the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions, DPP.
