An Ikeja Magistrate Court on Tuesday ordered the remand of a 28-year-old man in prison for allegedly impersonating a policeman and raping a 14-year-old girl.

The chief magistrate, Mr P. E. Nwaka, ordered that the defendant be remanded in Kirikiri Prisons, Lagos, pending advice from the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions.

The defendant, whose house address was not provided, was arraigned on a two-count charge of rape and impersonation.

The prosecutor, Insp. Christopher John, said the defendant committed the offences on October 1 at his residence.

John further told the court that at about 11pm on the same date, the defendant sexually assaulted the 14-year-old-girl.

He added that “the defendant also claimed to be a member of the Anti-kidnapping personnel of the Nigeria Police Force, a presentation he knew was false.”

The chief magistrate, who did not take the plea of the defendant, adjourned the case until November 18 for mention. (NAN)
