A Plateau State High Court has ordered that one Nyam Sunday be remanded in prison custody for allegedly defiling a four-year-old girl.
Justice Nafisa Musa gave the order to enable the defence counsel formally present his client’s bail application.
Musa adjourned the case until November 11 for hearing.
Sunday, a resident of Cut village in Jos, is being tried by the state Ministry of Justice for defilement of a minor.
Principal State Counsel, Gideon Azi told the court that the defendant in May lured the child into his room and defiled her.
The offence, he said, contravened provisions of Sections 208 and 257 of the Penal Code.
Sunday, however, pleaded not guilty as charged, NAN reports.
