An Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, February 4, ordered the remand of a 54-year-old man, Michael Uduigwome, in the Ikoyi Correctional Centre for allegedly defiling his eight-month-old daughter.

Uduigwome, who lives on Rasaq Balogun St., Surulere, Lagos State, is charged with defilement.

The Chief Magistrate, O A Layinka, who did not take the plea of Uduigwome, ordered that the case file should be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for legal advice.

Layinka adjourned the case until April 30 for DPP advice.
