An Oredo magistrate court sitting in Benin
on Monday denied an 18-year-old boy who
defiled a girl of six bail.
The boy, Nwafor Chikwador, committed the
offence in July, 2013 in the apartment of
the girl’s parent in Oredo area of Benin
City.
Chikwador who has been on remand since
October 18, after his first arraignment, was
again ordered to be remanded in the
prisons by the magistrate.
Magistrate Peter Osemota said he would
only consider bail after hearing the
evidence of the child and the IPO.
The counsel to the accused, Mr F. O. Ogun
had applied for his client to be granted
bail.
The bail application was opposed by the
state counsel, Mrs Omosefe Wole-
Ehinimowo, on the ground of the gravity of
the offence.
She also argued that the bail be rejected
based on the fact that offence seemed to
be currently on the increase in the state
and across the country, adding that she also
opposed to the bail based on the strong
evidence against the accused.
The matter was, however, adjourned to
December 9, 2013 for further hearing.
