A primary
school teacher, Abdukadiri Olaitan, on Tuesday, March 25, 2014 appeared before
a Yaba Chief Magistrates’ Court, Lagos, charged with defilement of an
eight-year-old girl.
Olaitan, 23,
who resides at No. 1 Ajisegiri St, Ilupeju, Lagos, is standing trial on a
charge of having unlawful carnal knowledge of a minor.
The
Prosecutor, ASP Godwin Anyanwu, told the court that the accused committed the
offence on Dec. 19, 2013, at his residence.
He said that
the accused, who teaches at the New Horizon Islamic School, Okearin, Ilupeju,
Lagos, took advantage of his eight-year-old pupil and had sexual intercourse
with her.
“He
capitalised on her lack of good guardianship and exploited her,” the prosecutor
said.
Anyanwu said
that the offence contravened Section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State,
2011.
However, the
accused denied the charge.
The Chief
Magistrate, Mrs. Yewande Aje-Afunwa, said that though the offence attracted
life imprisonment, the accused would be admitted to bail.
She said: “The
offence is a serious one and attracts life imprisonment; it is, however,
bailable, but the conditions will be stringent.
“The defendant
is hereby admitted to a bail of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum.
“The sureties
must own residential property in Lagos State and one must be a recognized
community or religious leader while the other must be a blood relation of the
defendant.’’
The chief
magistrate added that the sureties must both show evidence of tax payment and
gainful employment.
Aje-Afunwa
adjourned the case to May 12 for further hearing.
