One Sola Oke, 18, who allegedly raped a minor, has been ordered by a Family Court sitting at Iyaganku, Ibadan, to be remanded in a correctional facility in Ibadan for allegedly raping a minor.
Oke, whose address was not provided, was charged with rape.
The Magistrate, Mrs Sherifat Adesina, who gave the order on Thursday, did not take the defendant’s plea for want of jurisdiction.
She directed the police to return the case file to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for legal advice.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, Insp. Gbemisola Adedeji told the court that Oke allegedly committed the offence on March 5, at about 1.30 p.m., at Oba Abass Secondary School area, Ibadan.
The defendant allegedly had unlawful sexual intercourse with one 14-year-old girl (name withheld) without her consent, according to Adedeji.
She said the offence contravened Section 34 of the Oyo State Child Rights Law, 2006.
Adesina adjourned the case until May 5 for mention.
