In her testimony before the court, the major witness, grand mother of the raped victim, Mrs. Mary Akhigbe said Hope who lives with her has neither father nor mother. She told the court that the accused who was their neighbor usually send the girl on errand including that fateful day, adding that in the course of searching for her, she heard some noise from the bedroom of the accused, and when she peeped into the room through the window, she saw the victim being sexually abused by the accused.
Counsel to the accused, Barrister Osa Uwagie, appealed to the court to grant his client, who appeared frail, bail to enable him seek medical attention before the adjourned date.
The presiding Magistrate, Taye Omoruyi, granted the accused bail with the bond of N200,000.00 and a surety who must be a civil servant from grade level 12, to enable him seek medical attention.
