For allegedly raping an 11-year-old girl, a 25-year-old man, Kabiru Daramola, has been remanded in prison custody by an Osun State Chief Magistrates’ Court sitting in Modakeke, Osun State.
Kabiru was said to have, under the pretence of being a police officer, had carnal knowledge of the innocent minor.
The suspect who had no legal representation opted that the court should preside over the matter and pleaded not guilty to the four-count charge of gross indecency, impersonation, procurement of minor girl and unlawful sexual intercourse.
The police prosecutor, Sgt. Ona Glory, reported that the suspect committed the offence on September 26, 2015 around 2:30pm at No. 5, Oke Owu Street, Modakeke in Ife East Area Office of Osun State.
Glory said the offence was contrary to sections 31 (1) (2), 360, 361 and 484 of the State Child’s Right Laws.
The prosecutor informed the court that the suspect paraded himself as a police officer to gain cheap access to the underage girl and defiled her.
In her ruling, Senior Magistrate Bose Awosan ordered that the accused be remanded in Ile-Ife Prison Custody so as to serve as a deterrent to others of like mind as she adjourned the case till November 23 for hearing.
