60-Year-Old Herder Allegedly Defiles, Impregnates Daughter, Contracts Auxiliary Nurse For Abortion
A 60-year-old herder, Audu Usman, was on Monday dragged before a Badagry Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly defiling his 14-year-old daughter.
A 43-year-old auxiliary nurse, Mrs. Faith Akapa, was also charged by the police with unlawful abortion.
Inspector Ayodele Adeosun, the police prosecutor, had earlier informed the court that the defendants committed the offence in 2019 at about 11:00 pm in the Ogboro area of Imeke, Badagry, Lagos.
Adeosun alleged that “the first defendant, Usman, defiled his 14-year-old daughter.
“The two defendants in 2022, at about 5:00 p.m., conspired to commit felony to wit, committing abortion.”
According to him, the offence contravened the provisions of sections 137, 261, 411, and 236 of the Criminal Law of Lagos, 2015.
The defendants pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The Chief Magistrate, Mr. Patrick Adekomaiya, admitted the defendants to bail in the sum of N500,000 each with two sureties in like sum.
