Chief Magistrates’ Court sitting in Ore, Ondo State has remanded 36-year-old Peter Moses in a correctional centre for molesting and impregnating his teenage daughter.
The charge sheet reads,
"That you Peter Moses, during the same period, time and place in the aforementioned magisterial district did s.x.ally abuse your daughter by having segxwal intercourse with her and gave her four months old pregnancy (sic), thereby committed an offence contrary to section 32 sub-section (2) and punishable under section 32 sub-section (2) of Part 3 of Child Rights Act of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 2003.”
Amuda, however, asked the court for adjournment to enable the police complete their investigation and seek legal advice from the Ministry of Justice.
The accused person who pleaded guilty to the two charges levelled against him, however, urged the court to temper justice with mercy on him.
The Presiding Magistrate, F. O. Omofolarin, thereafter, ordered Moses to be remanded in a correctional centre pending the outcome of the Director of Public Prosecutions’ legal advice and adjourned the case to February 21 for mention to enable the police complete their investigation.
