An Osogbo Chief Magistrates’ Court in Osun on Monday remanded a 27-year-old school bus driver, Oluwatomisin Oyelakin, in Ilesa Prison over the alleged rape of a four-year-old girl.
The magistrate, Mrs Rofiat Olayemi, adjourned the case until Feb. 28 when a formal bail application by the accused would be considered.
The plea of the accused was not taken by the court.
The prosecutor, Sgt. Temitope Fatoba, told the court that Oyelakin committed the offence on Jan. 15 at 4:00 p.m., within Osogbo metropolis.
