44-year-old cleric defiled male teenager in Lagos

An Ikeja Magistrates’ Court on Thursday ordered that a 44-year-old cleric, Taiwo Opaleke, charged with raping a male teenager, should be kept at the Kirikiri prisons.
The Magistrate, Mrs B.O. Osunsanmi, who remanded the cleric, said that the court could not take his plea as it needed advice of the state’s director of public prosecutions.
She adjourned the case until Feb. 6 for mention.
It was reported that Opaleke, who resides at Shomolu, Lagos, was charged on a count of defiling a 15-year-old.
According to the prosecutor, ASP Ezekiel Ayorinde, the accused committed the offence on Dec. 14 at his residence.
The prosecutor said that the accused sexually assaulted the teenager by penetrating into his anus, in contravention of Section 261 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
“The accused, who leaves in the same area with the boy, invited him to his church, but the boy refused to go.
“The accused came to the boy’s house and took him to his house where he forcefully had intercourse with him.
“The boy told his brother whom he is staying with.
“His brother reported the case, and the accused was arrested,” the prosecutor said.
