An angry father, Gbenga Adewole has dragged a young man, Kenneth Anayo to Ejigbo Magistrate Court for having sex with his 18-year-old daughter, Rose for three consecutive days.
Gbenga claimed that Kenneth kept Rose in his house at 6, Adodoye Street, NEPA Ijegemo, outskirt of Lagos, Nigeria and was busy having sex with her as if she were his wife, though he has not contracted marriage with her.
The embittered father went to the Isheri Oshun Police Station and reported that Kenneth abducted his daughter and he was arrested and charged to court for abduction.
But Kenneth denied that he abducted her, saying she was his girlfriend and after the first rounds of sex with her, she decided to stay for extra days for more.
However, Rose said that she actually went to his house on her own but did not know what got over her and she decided to stay on.
Kenneth was arraigned for the offence of abduction and illegal sex with Rose but he pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The magistrate, Mrs. M.b. Folami, granted him bail in the sum of N100,000 with two responsible sureties. The court also ruled that the sureties must show evidence of the payment of tax and their addresses must be verified by the court.
The matter has been adjourned till 1 September for definite trial while the defendant was remanded in Kirikiri Maximum Prison, Apapa, Lagos because he could not fulfill the bail conditions.
