On Tuesday, a 34-year-old driver named Segun Falola was ordered to be held at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre by Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court. Falola faces charges of abduction and defilement of a 14-year-old girl, according to prosecutors. The court did not consider Falola's plea, as he was brought before the court on the alleged charges.
Chief Magistrate C.M. Kushanu set the defendant's remand until September 30, pending advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions. The prosecutor, Adegoke Ademigbuji, informed the court that the alleged incidents happened between April 3 and April 24 in Lagos State's Alakuko area. Ademigbuji claimed that Falola abducted the teenage girl while she was traveling from Alakuko to Agege.
The prosecutor alleges that Falola lured the girl into a house and sexually assaulted her. After the victim's phone was tracked to Oyo State, Falola was arrested. Falola, who lives at 1 Adepoju Street, Alakuko, faces charges under Lagos State's Criminal Law of 2015, Sections 137 and 268. The court adjourned the case until September 30 for further proceedings.
