An Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court on Thursday remanded a 20- year old woman, Odunayo Ebenezer, to Kirikiri Correctional Centre for alleged sexual assault on her employer’s minor.
The Chief Magistrate, Mrs. O. O Kushanu, refused to listen to the defendant’s plea.
She ordered her to be remanded in Kirikiri Correctional Centre until Sept. 4 for Director of Public Prosecution’s advice (DPP).
The defendant, a house keeper who resides at 4, Idofian St., Shagisha, Magodo, Lagos, is facing a two- count charge of sexual assault and defilement.
The Prosecutor, ASP Adegoke Ademigbuji told the court that the offences were committed on June 4, 2025 at the defendant’s residence.
Ademigbuji said the defendant, who lives with her employer, was caught by the victim’s father after she had asked the 5-year-old boy to lie down and she laid on top of him.
The prosecutor said the victim’s father saw his son’s erection and knew it wasn’t normal, so he then called his son who narrated how it happened to him.
The offences according to the prosecutor contravened Sections 137 and 263 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
