OSOGBO — A 50-year-old man, Tajudeen Omole, has been
arraigned before an Osogbo chief magistrate’s court for
allegedly having carnal knowledge of a 12-year-old girl.
The accused person was said to have committed the offence
on November 27, 2013 at 1, Ikolaba, Osogbo, the capital of
OsunState.
It was reliably gathered that the accused went to the house of
the victim to ask after her sister who he claimed was his
friend.
The sister was not in the house and the accused cunningly
lured the girl into her room where he allegedly defiled her.
It was further gathered that although the girl attempted to
scream for help, she was over powered.
She, thereafter, reported the case to those she found around
the house.
The suspect was later arrested by the residents who handed
him over to the police.
The Police prosecutor, Inspector Solomon Oladele, told the
court that the offence committed was punishable under section
218 of the criminal code cap 34 vol II laws of Osun
StateNigeria, 2003.
Counsel to the accused, Mr. Okobe Nagite, applied for the bail.
Presiding magistrate, Mr. Olusola Aluko, in his ruling ordered
that the accused be remanded in Ilesha prison while counsel
to the accused is to file a formal application for his bail.
