Ogunkanmi, who did not take Mojeed’s plea, ordered that the case file be duplicated and sent to the DPP for advice.

She, however, adjourned the case till October 14, 2024, for the DPP’s legal advice.

Earlier, the Prosecutor, Inspector Gbemisola Adedeji, told the court that Mojeed committed the offence on July 21 at 5.00 p.m.

Adedeji said the incident took place in the Ebedi area of Ibadan, in Oyo state.

The prosecutor also told the court that Mojeed lured the girl into his room and defiled her.

According to Adedeji, the offences committed contravened Section 34 of the Oyo State Child’s Rights Law, 2006.
