A magistrate's court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos State, on Monday remanded a 48-year-old man, Isaac Akin, at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre for allegedly raping an 18-year-old lady.
The defendant who resides in Alapere area of Ketu, Lagos, was said to have committed the crime sometimes in 2015 at his residence.
The prosecutor, ASP Bisi Ogunleye, said that after Akin raped the teenager, he warned her not to disclose the incident to anybody.
Magistrate Ejiro Kubeinje, however, did not take the plea of Akin.
The magistrate ordered the prosecution to send the case file to the State Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for legal advice.
The case was adjourned to September 24 for mention.
