A Kano Chief Magistrates’ Court on Monday ordered the remand of a teenager, Abdul Ibrahim, in prison custody for allegedly defiling an eight-year-old boy.
Ibrahim, 18, who lives in Brigade Quarters in Kano, is facing a charge of defilement.
The Prosecutor, Sgt. Pogu Lale told the court that one Umar Jibrin of Tudun Murtala Quarters, Kano, reported the case at the Gwagwarwa Police Division in Kano on June 1.
Lale said that on May 31 at about 7:00 p.m., the accused deceived and lured the boy to his brother’s shop situated at Brigade Market, Kano.
“The defendant deceitfully had canal knowledge of the boy and gave him the sum of N30.”
Lale said that the offence contravened Section 284 of the Penal Code.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
