He face potential charge which attracts several years of imprisonment if he is found guilty of stated offences before the Court. He has been remanded in juvenile detention following his arraignment before the Ogba Magistrates Court in Lagos.
The Police alleged that the boy lured the girl from her parent’s house and took her to where they engaged in marathon sex.
Since they were not within their area for the romp, the parents of the girl began to look for her before she later returned.
The parents then asked her where she went and she confessed that she went somewhere with her lover where they engaged in sex. They became angry and claimed that the boy had defiled their daughter as she was no longer virgin. This made the girl's parent to report the case to the Police that the boy abducted their daughter and defiled her. The boy was later arrested and charged before the Court for the alleged offence.
