An Ado-Ekiti Chief Magistrates’ Court, on Thursday, remanded Emeka Emmanuel, an 18 year old man for allegedly molesting a seven year old girl.
The police prosecutor, Inspector Johnson Okunade, told the court that Emmanuel, a sales boy at the Post Office area of the popular Bisi Market, Ado Ekiti, allegedly lured the girl with money and took her to the back of the shop where she was molested.
The accused molested the girl four times whenever his boss was not around. After some days, the girl took ill and confessed that she was molested by the accused.
The offence contravened Section 31 of the Child Right Law of Ekiti State, 2012.
The prosecutor urged the court to remand the accused in prison pending legal advice from the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The magistrate, Mr Adesoji Adegboye, ordered that the accused be remanded in prison custody pending advice from the office of the DPP. Adegboye therefore adjourned the case till June 5 for mention.
