An Oyo State Family Court, Iyaganku, on Tuesday remanded a 29-year-old man, Hamzat Abdullahi at Agodi Correctional facility, Ibadan, for allegedly having sexual intercourse with three male minors.
The Presiding Magistrate, Serifat Adesina, did not take the plea of the suspect due to lack of jurisdiction.
Adesina said that the remand was pending the issuance of advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecution.
She adjourned the matter until May 8, for mention.
