A 50-year-old man identified as Ramoni Seriki has been remanded in Kirikiri Correctional Centre for allegedly raping his 13-year-old daughter.
Seriki was arraigned before Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court over the weekend.
The defendant, a transporter who resides at Obasa Avenue, Ijegun, Lagos, was tried for sexual assault.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, ASP Adegoke Ademigbuji, told the court that the offence was committed on June 18, 2025, at the defendant’s resident.
Ademigbuji said that the defendant sexually molested his 13-year-old daughter while she was sleeping.
