<\/p>\n

An Islamic cleric, Abdulsalam Salaudeen, was on Monday remanded by an Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court for allegedly defiling a five-year-old girl in a mosque.<\/p>\n

Justice Abiola Soladoye, who obliged the prosecutor\u2019s request for the remand, adjourned the case until October 14 for trial.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Salaudeen, 43, is being tried for allegedly defiling the child, who was under his tutelage.<\/p>\n

The Prosecutor, Ms T. Olanrewaju-Dawodu, told the court that Salaudeen allegedly committed the offence on December 22, 2018 at the premises of Olorunbabe Mosque at No. 15, Palace Road, Igando, near Lagos.<\/p>\n

Olanrewaju-Dawodu said that Salaudeen, popularly called Alfa, was caught defiling the child via the footage of a hidden camera which was installed within the premises of the mosque by suspicious individuals.<\/p>\n

The defendant, residing at No. 16, Awoyemi St., Ikotun, Lagos, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor said the offence contravened Section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
