An Ikeja Magistrates’ Court in Lagos State on Thursday ordered that a 50-year-old man, Chidi Eze, be remanded in Kirikiri Correctional Centre for allegedly raping his friend’s sister.

The police charged Eze, who resides in Iyana Ipaja area of Lagos, with rape.

Magistrate Ejiro Kubeinje, gave the order following a motion moved by the prosecution counsel, DSP Kehinde Ajayi that the matter be referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for legal advice.

Kubeinje, who did not take the plea of Eze, directed the prosecutor to duplicate the case file and send to the DPP for advice.
