Man lands in Kirikiri for ‘raping’ 3 daughters

For allegedly raping his three daughters, a 48-year-old man, Micheal Ogbar, on Tuesday, appeared before an Ikeja chief magistrates’ court.

Tajudeen Elias, the chief magistrate, refused to hear his plea and remanded him in kirikiri prisons.

Elias said the court had no jurisdiction over the case and, therefore, transferred the matter to Apapa magistrates’ court.

The accused is facing a two-count charge of defilement and rape.

Rafael Donny, the prosecutor, told the court that the offences were committed between January and May at the accused residence.

“The accused sexually abused his 24, 20 and 10 year-old daughters,” he said.

The offences contravened sections 137 and 259 of the criminal law of Lagos state, 2011
