How Father, His Teenage Son Defiled Little Girl, Gave Her N20
They were said to have separately gave the little girl N20 each time they have s*x with her.
The victim, who was in court told reporters how they had carnal knowledge of her on different occasions.
Said she was always tempted with N20 during the countless times they defiled her and that they always send her to buy recharge cards for them just to lure her into their house.
Both father and son were charged on a one count-charge of forceful penetration.
They, however, pleaded not guilty.
The offence is punishable under Section 218 of the Criminal Code cap 48 Volume 2 laws of the defunct Bendel State of Nigeria 1976 as applicable in Edo State.
Defence Counsel Nicholas Omobude applied for bail.
Omobude promised that the accused persons will not jump bail.
But Magistrate Efe Akhere said the matter would not be tried in his court.
He transfered the case to a family court where the accused bail will be considered upon resumption on April 21.
Akhere remanded the father to Oko Prison while his son was sent to the Children’s Remand Home at Ugbekun Quarters.
Coordinator of Child Protection Network Mrs. Jennifer Ero assured that the cases will be pursued to logical conclusion.
