An Ado-Ekiti Chief Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday remanded a 55-year-old clergyman, Rufus Oyediran in a correctional centre for allegedly defiling a minor.
Oyediran, whose address was not provided, is charged with defilement.
The Chief Magistrate, Mr Bankole Oluwasanmi, who did not take the plea of Oyediran, ordered that he should be remanded pending legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecution.
He adjourned the case until April 19 for mention.
Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Insp Oriyomi Akinwale told the court that the clergyman committed the offence on March 11 in Efon Alaaye, Ekiti.
Akinwale alleged that the suspect defiled a 13-year-old girl.
The prosecutor said the offence contravenes the provisions of Section 31 of Child Right Laws of Ekiti, 2012.
He urged the court to remand the suspect pending legal advice. (NAN)
