The latest gist reaching us has it that an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court on
Tuesday remanded 45-year-old Santana Obend, charged with rape of a minor at
Kirikiri Maximum Prison in Lagos.
The Chief Magistrate, Mr Tajudeen Elias,
ordered the remand of the accused in prison pending the determination of his
bail application on Sept. 18, 2015.
The accused, a security man who lives at 9,
Ajegunle Close, Isheri, a suburb of Lagos, was accused of abducting and raping
his neighbour’s 14-year-old daughter.
He is facing charges of abduction and rape.
The police prosecutor, Sgt. Jimah Isegede,
had told the court that the accused committed the offence on Aug. 7, 2015, at
his residence.
“The accused abducted his neighbour’s
14-year-old daughter for three days in his apartment and unlawfully had sexual
intercourse with her several times.
“All effort for the victim’s parents to see
their daughter proved abortive until she was sighted by another neighbour in
the apartment of the accused,” he said.
According to Isegede, the offence
contravened Sections 141(1) and 258(1) of the Criminal Code of Lagos State,
2011.
The accused pleaded not guilty to the
charges.
The chief magistrate adjourned the case to
September 18, 2015.
