Lagos man arrested, remanded in prison custody for sexually assaulting three-year-old
The Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday remanded a 37-year-old man, Joseph Olasope, in the Kirikiri Correctional Centre for allegedly inserting his finger into the private parts of a three-year-old girl.
Mr Olasope is standing trial on a one-count charge of sexual assault.
The chief magistrate, M. F. Onamusi, did not take the defendant’s plea and ordered that he be remanded in the Kirikiri Correctional Centre.
Ms Onamusi adjourned the case until December 10 for advice from the director of public prosecutions.
The prosecutor, Adegoke Ademigbuji, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on October 8 at a school located at No. 3, Kareem Olanrewaju St., Badagry, Lagos.
Mr Ademigbuji said the defendant had visited the school at the time of the incident.
The prosecutor said the defendant was allegedly caught inserting his finger into the private parts of a three-year-old pupil.
