The incident happened at Ifelodun Street, Bariga area of Lagos, where they reside.

When the suspect, Muyideen, was caught, his explanations did not prevent the Police at Bariga Division from arresting him for statutory rape which attracts several years of imprisonment if he is tried and found guilty before the Court.

The matter was later transferred to the SCIID Panti, Yaba, for further investigation where Muyideen still insisted that the victim was his girlfriend.

The Police alleged that Muyideen lured the girl to his apartment and engaged her in sex before he was caught and handed over to the Police but he insisted that she was his girlfriend.

After interrogation, the Police found him culpable and subsequently charged before the Ogba Magistrates Court.

When he was arraigned, the prosecutor, Mr. Christopher John, asked the Court to refer the matter to the DPP for advice.

The Presiding Magistrate, Mr. P.E. Nwaka, ordered for his remand in custody and directed the prosecutor to duplicate the file and send to the DPP for advice.

The matter was adjourned pending the outcome of the DPP’s advice which has been delayed due to the Covid-19 lockdown in the State.

The matter may likely be transferred to the High Court if the DPP finds him culpable and recommends his trial for the alleged offence.

poverty is the cause. They dont have sex with condom so their wives are baby factories.

And still they won't educate them. They subjugate the people through religion and breed monsters out of them, leaving the whole nation to suffer for it...

It is well.

the Nigerian population commission is just a dead institution. I feel at this point, a rule should be made determining the max number of kids every household should birth.

Funny enough, this is normal in the north because Islam allows them to marry and have sex with underage children. It's only in the south that laws can be put into effect like this.

One Hausa trader around my area showed me the picture of his village wife and I almost puked. The poor girl barely had breast and he was already sleeping with her. I pity young girls in northern Nigeria sha.

One country, different constitutions.

ChiefJusticeFuc:


In Italy and many European countries the age of consent is 14.

In some states in the US it is as low as 13.

loneprof:


You have a point. But that doesn't mean you're allowed to marry a minor. Even most times it is termed statutory rape regardless of consent cos no parent would allow anyone defile their child, with or without consent.

ChiefJusticeFuc:


Wrong. Thd age of consent also gives the female the choice of getting married

Ask the useless police at what age did his own mother get married.

As long as Nigeria Constitution is concerned the age of maturity for a female is 12.

How old was Aisha when she got married to Buhari in 1987? She was 15.
