A Chief Magistrates’ Court sitting in the Ikeja area of Lagos, on Thursday, September 19, 2024, remanded a 53-year-old man, Bitrus Daniyan, in a correctional centre for indecent sexual assault of his seven-year-old daughter.
The prosecutor, Inspector John Iberedem, told the court that the defendant committed the offence at Military Zone C, Nominee Estate in the Ajah area of Lagos in June 2024.
Iberedem, who said the defendant sexually assaulted his daughter by inserting his finger into her private part, explained that Daniyan was caught by neighbours and handed over to the police.

The prosecutor added that the offence contravened Section 261 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos, 2015.
The Magistrate, E. Kubeinje, who did not take the plea of Daniyan, ordered that the case file be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for advice.
Kubeinje, therefore, adjourned the case until October 15 for the DPP’s advice.
