Osogbo — An Osogbo Senior Magistrate Court, Osun State has remanded a 55-year-old man,Titiloye Tella, for allegedly defiling and raping an 11-year-olg girl simply identified as ‘Tapepa’ (not real name) in his (Tella) bedroom.

According to the charge, Tella, a farmer, allegedly perpetrated the act on August 31, 2013 at 9 am in Temidire area of Gbongan, Ayedaade Local Government Area of the state.
