13 Year Old Boy Accused of Defiling A 6 Year old...

 A 13-year-old kid has been placed under arrest at the Borstal Correctional Centre in Lagos after he is accused of defiling a 6-year-old daughter of his neighbor.

The boy, a student who resides with his parents at 96 Oshodi Road in Oshodi, Lagos, was charged with defilement in Ikeja Chief Magistrates' Court in Lagos, according to the police.

The offense was carried out at the defendant's home in January 2024, according to the prosecution's attorney, ASP Raji Akeem, who testified in court.

According to Akeem, the child violated the six-year-old girl who lived next door by luring her into his room when their parents were away.

The prosecutor claimed that the offense violated section 210 of the Lagos State Criminal Law of 2015.

Mrs. Bola Osunsanmi, the Chief Magistrate, turned down the minor's appeal. To receive legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), she commanded that he be remanded in the Borstal Correctional facility until April 17.
