According to the prosecutor, ASP Aminu Isaac, the incident allegedly occurred around 9 p.m. on or before January 10 at No. 26 Okuno Street, Awono Estate, Igbogbo, Ikorodu. Faleye is accused of engaging in unlawful sexual relations with the minor, which reportedly led to a pregnancy.
The charge, Isaac noted, contravenes Section 137 of the Lagos State Criminal Law of 2015, which prohibits sexual activity with a child.
Presiding over the matter, Chief Magistrate B.A. Sonuga did not take the defendant’s plea. Instead, he ordered Faleye’s remand and directed that the case file be forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for legal advice.
The case has been adjourned until June 30, 2025, pending the DPP’s review and further legal action.
