Student In Prison Custody Over Underage Teen Rape____Kindly Follow us on twitter @tunmishesblog

A 19-year-old student, Fidelis Ojor, was remanded in Keffi Prison by an Abuja Senior Magistrates' Court in Karu, FCT on Wednesday.
Ojor is charged with the attempted rape of a minor as he lured a three-year-old girl into his house where he attempted to defy her.
The case was reported to the police on Jan. 21 by Mr Chibueze Okereke, the girl's father.
The man further alleged that the accused forcefully inserted his finger into the girl's private part, leaving her with bruises and severe pains.
The offence contravened section 285 of the Penal Code, which prescribed a seven-year jail term for attempted rape if found guilty.
The defender, Egbaji, asked for bail, stating that "the accused is a promising young man, who has unfortunately become a victim of this allegation''.
For its part the prosecutor, Sgt. Bulus Samuel, objected to the application saying that offences bordering on rape were not ordinarily bailable.
He also highlighted that the case was under investigation as the police were still waiting for victim's medical test results.
Sgt. Bulus Samuel assumed that granting the accused bail could affect the investigation.
He said,"We are not magicians to fabricate facts."
However, Ojor, who lives behind Gowon Barracks, Abuja, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The prosecutor re-arrested the accused, who was in police custody for more than 2 weeks, before he was brought to this court on Wednesday.
It's became known that the accused had earlier been arraigned on the same matter at the Upper Area Court in Karu and the prosecutor applied for withdrawal of the case which was granted.
