An Ondo State Magistrate Court sitting in Akure has ordered the remand of two men, Adebowale Adegboye and Idowu Akinseye, in prison custody for allegedly raping a 10-year-old girl (name withheld).
Adegboye is the biological father of the victim, while Akinseye is her stepfather.
The two were accused of sexually assaulting the girl at separate times in Akure, the state capital, before their arrest by officers of the state police command.
In addition, a medical doctor, Israel Ojo, who allegedly carried out an abortion for the victim, was also arrested and charged to court alongside the two men.
