According to Iberedem, the offence contravened Section 210 (8) of the Child’s Rights Laws of Lagos, 2015.

However, the defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Following his not-guilty plea, Magistrate Kubeinje ordered the remand of the teenager in the correctional centre for boys at Oregun.

The magistrate, who refused to grant the defendant’s bail application, ordered that the case file should be forwarded to the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for legal advice.

She adjourned the case until December 19, 2024, for mention.
