An Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court on Thursday remanded a 53-year-old man, Bitrus Daniyan, in a Correctional Centre for alleged indecent sexual assault of his seven-year-old daughter.
The Magistrate, Mrs E. Kubeinje, who did not take Daniyan’s plea, ordered that the case file be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for advice.
Kubeinje adjourned the case until Oct. 15 for the DPP’s advice.
The defendant was facing a charge of indecent sexual assault.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, Insp. John Iberedem, told the court that the defendant committed the offence in June at Military Zone C, Nominee Estate, Ajah, Lagos.
Iberedem, who said that the defendant sexually assaulted his daughter by inserting his finger into her private part, explained that Daniyan was caught by neighbors and handed over to the police.
The prosecutor said that the offence contravened Section 261 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos, 2015.
