The Prosecutor, SP Akpan Ikem, told the court that the accused committed the offences at about 2 p.m. on August 24, at Zongo area of Seme Border, Badagry, Lagos State.
Ikem said, “He did sexually touch the girl without her consent and violated Section 261 of Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.

“This act violated Section 166 of Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011, ‘’ he said.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The Chief Magistrate, Mr Patrick Adekomaya, ordered that the accused be remanded in Badagry prison and adjourned the case until Oct. 3, for further hearing.
