A 37-year-old man identified as Musa Nurudeen has been remanded at the custodial centre in Ado Ekiti by an Ekiti State Magistrate Court, Ado Ekiti Magisterial District, on Wednesday for allegedly having carnal knowledge of his 11-year-old daughter.

The defendant was arraigned before the court by the Ekiti State Ministry of Justice on the charge of rape.

The Prosecutor from the ministry, E.S. Atane, said, “Musa was charged for the offence reasonably suspected to be rape on his 11-year-old biological daughter, who is a first-year Junior Secondary School student at their residence within Ado Ekiti Magisterial District, on 19th of May, 2021”.

He said that the offence was “contrary to Section 357 of the Criminal Code Cap. C38 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004”.
