A 29-year-old man, Sabitu Akilo,
was yesterday arraigned before an
Ibadan Chief Magistrate’s Court,
Iyaganku, for raping an 11-year- old girl.
Police Prosecutor Adewale Amos alleged
that the accused person committed the
offence on December 7, at Olodo area,
Ibadan, where he forcefully had
unlawful carnal knowledge of the girl.
Amos said that “by so doing, you
thereby committed an offence contrary
to and punishable under Section 218 of
the Criminal Code Cap 38 Vol. II Laws of
Oyo State of Nigeria, 2000.”
The accused pleaded not guilty to the
charge.
However, the Magistrate, Mrs. Fatima
Badrudeen, remanded him at the Agodi
prisons and adjourned the case to
January 18, 2012, for hearing.
