A magistrate court in Ogudu area of Lagos State, has ordered the remand of 22-year-old Ifeanyi Kelvin Udoka, a security guard, for allegedly raping a four-year-old girl, NigeriaTodayTimes reports.
The remand order was pronounced by the Magistrate, S.K Matepo, who said that Udoka should be remanded at the Ikoyi Correctional pending the advice of the Director of Lagos Public Prosecutions (DPP).
The case was then adjourned to June 25.
The Lagos Police Command charged Udoka in court on Monday over the alleged defilement of the minor.
“That you, Ifeanyi Kelvin Udoka ‘M’, sometimes in May, 2025, at King Heritage School Ikosi Ketu in the Ikeja Magisterial District did defile one (name withheld) ‘F’, age 4 years old, by having canal knowledge of her and thereby committed an offence punishable under section 137 of the criminal law of Lagos State 2015,” the charge sheet reads.
Based on the information contained in the charge sheet, the alleged rape of the minor took place at the King Heritage School, Ikosi Ketu.
A source familiar with the case said that the alleged rape came to light when the minor’s grandmother noticed some unusual behaviours exhibited by the child after she returned from school.
The source said it was discovered that the child started urinating on herself uncontrollably during the day.
The source said the child’s grandmother also noticed some discharge on the girl’s pants, which led her to ask what had happened at school.
The child told the woman that the security guard at the school touched her “bum bum”.
The Ketu Police Station is prosecuting the case.
