37-Year-Old Man Remanded For Allegedly Raping His Daughter

Trouble befell a man for allegedly raping his own daughter who is 16 years of age.

The man identified as Stephen has been remanded in Kirikiri Correctional Service, by Ikeja Chief Magistrate Court, for allegedly having sexual knowledge of his daughter without her consent.

Naija News understands that the 37-year-old man who is a resident of Alakuko in Lagos was remanded on Wednesday on the count of rape.

According to the report made available in court, the prosecutor, Inspector Christopher John, said that Stephen had forcefully raped his own daughter without her consent on December 24, last year at his residence.

“The case was reported to the police and the defendant was arrested,”

“The offence contravened Section 260 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015,” said John.

After all-hearing, the Chief Magistrate, Mr P.E. Nwaka, shows no mercy as he ordered that the case file be sent to the Director of Public Prosecution for advice.

He, however, adjourned the case until February 13, for further hearing.

Meanwhile, Naija News had reported that a UK court has convicted a self-acclaimed pastor identified as Michael Oluronbi, for 24 counts of child sexual abuse and rape.

The 60-year-old Cherubim and Seraphim pastor based in Birmingham, UK, was on Tuesday found guilty of 15 counts of rape, seven counts of indecent assault, and two counts of sexual assault.

According to Daily Mail, the accused was apprehended at Birmingham Airport in May 2019 while trying to leave the UK for Nigeria.

Oluronbi’s wife, Juliana Oluronbi, was also convicted by the UK court of three counts of aiding and abetting rape.
