A driver, Abraham Joseph, 35, who was accused of sexually assaulting his two stepdaughters, on Wednesday appeared in an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos.
Joseph, who resides at No. 34, Alhaji Alimi Street, Bariga in Lagos, is charged with sexual assault.
The Prosecution Counsel, Insp. Christopher John, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on May 5, at noon in his residence.
