Mrs. B.O. Osunsanmi, the Chief Magistrate, refused to hear the defendant’s plea.
Osunsanmi remanded him in the Kirikiri Correctional Centre until January 25 to await the Director of Public Prosecutions’ advice.

ASP Raji Akeem, the prosecutor, told the court that the crime was committed on November 25, 2022, in the Ile-Ojo area of Ibeju, Lekki, Lagos.
According to Akeem, the defendant called the victim, a 12-year-old girl who sells cow skin (ponmo), on the pretext that he wanted to buy.
According to the prosecutor, the defendant dragged the girl into his room and forced anal sex with her.
