The court also granted him two sureties in like sum.
The accused, who lives with his parents at MOPOL 20 Barracks, Ikeja, is being tried for defilement.

Ogu said the accused was on his way to clean a church premises when he sighted the girl, who was at
the back of her school.
“The girl went to urinate at the back of her school when the accused called her and defiled her.
