An Abeokuta Magistrates’ Court sitting in Isabo, Ogun State today Friday ordered the remand of a 68-year-old driver, Reuben Oyeku, charged with indecently assaulting a 12-year-old girl.
Oyeku is facing a one-count charge of indecent assault.
The defendant`s plea was pending as the Magistrate ordered that he should be remanded first.
The Prosecutor, ASP Lawrence Olu-Balogun, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on Oct. 19, at Laderin Area in Abeokuta.
Olu-Balogun alleged that Oyeku unlawfully and indecently assaulted the minor by caressing and sucking her breast.
He said the defendant was the personal driver of the victim’s parents and usually conveyed their children to school.
“The incident occurred when the girl returned to the vehicle to retrieve her school bag after forgetting it when she returned home from school.
“The defendant pulled the girl close, raised her cloth and sucked her breast when her parents were not around,” he said.
The Prosecutor said the offence contravenes Section 222 of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun State, 2006.
The Magistrate, Mrs A.K. Araba, ordered that Oyeku be remanded at the Oba Correctional Centre pending his plea to be taken.
She adjourned the matter until November 4 for further proceedings./NAN
