For allegedly giving out his 12 years old girl out in marriage, one Oyefeso Saheed was ordered to be detained at Oke-Kura Correctional Centre, Ilorin.
The order for the remand was by a Family Court in Ilorin, on Monday.
Magistrate Shade Lawal also ordered the remand of the victim’s purported husband, Ismail Lawal, 32, before adjourning the case till Wednesday, for further mention.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, Sgt. Akinjide Adisa, said that the matter was reported at Adewole Police Station by Aishat Temem, a member of the state branch of International Federation of Women Lawyers, FIDA.
He said that the matter was reported after the complainant had received a call from the 12 years old victim’s school principal.
The prosecutor also told the court that the purported husband gave the victim a HP laptop as bride price for the ‘marriage’.
He then prayed the court to order the remand of the two defendants on the basis that the offences they allegedly committed were not bail-able.
The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against them.
