OSOGBO — A 50-year-old man, Tajudeen Omole,
has been arraigned before an Osogbo chief
magistrate’s court for allegedly having carnal
knowledge of a 12-year-old girl.
The accused person was said to have committed
the offence on November 27, 2013 at 1, Ikolaba,
Osogbo, the capital of OsunState.
It was reliably gathered that the accused went to
the house of the victim to ask after her sister who
he claimed was his friend.
The sister was not in the house and the accused
cunningly lured the girl into her room where he
allegedly defiled her.
It was further gathered that although the girl
attempted to scream for help, she was over
powered.
She, thereafter, reported the case to those she
found around the house.
The suspect was later arrested by the residents
who handed him over to the police.
The Police prosecutor, Inspector Solomon Oladele,
told the court that the offence committed was
punishable under section 218 of the criminal code
cap 34 vol II laws of Osun StateNigeria, 2003.
Counsel to the accused, Mr. Okobe Nagite, applied
for the bail.
Presiding magistrate, Mr. Olusola Aluko, in his
ruling ordered that the accused be remanded in
Ilesha prison while counsel to the accused is to file
a formal application for his bail.
