A teenager, Joshua Olayiwola, has been ordered by a Family Court sitting in Iyagangu, Ibadan, to be remanded in Abolongo Correctional Facility, Oyo Town, for allegedly defiling an eight-year-old neighbour’s daughter.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Magistrate, Mrs. S. A. Adesina, who did not take Olayiwola’s plea due to lack of jurisdiction, ordered the police to return the case file to the Director of Public Prosecution for legal advice.
