The prosecutor, ASP Paul, described the action of the accused as “animalistic” and that he was not fit to stay close to any girl child.
He said the accused initially denied the allegation until the girl testified before him and stated how it all happened.
The court did not take the plea of the accused and the Magistrate, Mrs O. M. Ajayi, ordered his remand the Kirikiri Correctional Centre, Lagos, pending when the DPP’s report will be ready.
