Father Remanded In Prison For Allegedly Raping 12-year-old Daughter

An Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court has ordered that a 30-year old father, Nyime Nbride, be remanded in the Kirikiri Correctional Centre for allegedly defiling his biological 12-year-old daughter.

The police charged Nbride, who lives at Ajegunle Street, Ilupeju, Lagos, with defilement, sexual assault, and indecent treatment of a child.

The Chief Magistrate, Esther Kubeinje, did not take the plea of the defendant for want of jurisdiction.

Mrs Kubeinje ordered the police to return the casefile to the Office of the Director of the Public Prosecution for legal advise.
