An Isabo Magistrate’s Court on Friday in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital arraigned a 60-year-old businessman, Alhaji Olusegun Adesina for allegedly raping a 20-year-old secondary school leaver.
The suspect was arraigned before Magistrate O.A. Ayobolu on a count of having unlawful carnal knowledge of the boy on Tuesday at his private residence in Abeokuta.
The sex-crazed Adesina allegedly lured the boy into his private abode with a promise to help him secure a job pending his admission into a tertiary institution.
Police prosecutor, Paul Etusi, argued that the accused harmed the 20-year-old when he forcefully had sexual intercourse with him through the anus. Etusi, an assistant superintendent of police, stated that the offence was punishable under Section 214 of the Criminal Code Vol. 1, Laws of Ogun State of Nigeria, 2006.
Counsel to the accused, B.H. Yusuf, however, appealed to the court to grant Adesina bail. The prosecutor opposed the bail application and urged the magistrate to remand the accused in prison.
The magistrate later granted Adesina bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties.
