The Chief Magistrates’ Court sitting in the Ikeja area of Lagos State, on Monday, July 22, 2024, remanded a 55-year-old man, Pius Promise, in a correctional centre for defiling his daughter.
The police charged Promise with defilement.
The prosecutor, Inspector John Iberedem, told the court that Promise committed the offence from 2015 to 2022 at Clinic Street in the Ojo area of Lagos.
Iberedem said Promise had been sexually defiling his daughter when she was a minor until she became over 18 years old and summoned the courage to speak up and tell someone.
The prosecutor said: “The defendant sexually penetrated the girl by inserting an egg inside her vagina and fingering her as well.
“He also sexually assaulted his daughter by sucking her breast and vagina.”

The offence, he said, contravened the provisions of Sections 261 and 263 of the Criminal Law of Lagos, 2015.
The Magistrate, E. Kubeinje, refused to take his plea and directed the police to send his case file to the state Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for advice.
She, therefore, adjourned the case until August 7 for DPP’s advice.
Section 261 stipulates life imprisonment for anyone found guilty of penetrating another’s anus, vagina, mouth, or any body part without the person’s consent.
Section 263 also stipulates three years imprisonment for anyone found guilty of sexually touching another without the person’s consent.
