How A 21-Year-Old Tricyclist Took 14-Yeasr-Old Girl To Secret Location And R*ped Her In Lagos

Micheal Sude, a 21- year-old man, has been remanded in prison.

An Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday remanded the man at Kirikiri Correctional Centre for allegedly r*ping a teenage girl.

The defendant, a tricyclist, who resides at 2, Akinola Awofeso Street, Bariga, Lagos State, is facing a one-count charge of r*pe.

The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Bola Osunsanmi, who refused to take the defendant’s plea ordered him to be remanded at Kirikiri Correctional Centre.

Osunsanmi adjourned the case until Oct. 18 pending the advice of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).

The Police Prosecutor, SPL Raji Akeem, told the court that the offence was committed on Aug. 21 at Powerline, Sholuyi, Gbagada, Lagos.

Akeem said the victim, a 14-year-old girl, boarded a tricycle to take her to her house, but the defendant took her to another location and r*ped her.

He said the offence contravened section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
