43-year-old man, Ademola Oladimeji, has landed in police net for defiling his three daughters and beating up their mother when she confronted him.
Oladimeji, who resides at Fadeyi area of Lagos, was arraigned before an Ikeja magistrates’ court on Monday on a two-count charge of defilement and assault.
The Magistrate, A.O. Ajibade, who did not take Oladimeji’s plea, directed the police to send the case file to the state’s Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), ordered his detention at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre and adjourned the case to March 2.
