Four employees of a company, Kazmus Nigeria Ltd, who allegedly defiled two underaged daughters of their colleague, were on Tuesday remanded in prison on the orders of an Ikeja Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Court.

The accused are Ojo Taiye, 35, a driver; John Mohasan, 24, a security guard; Peter Arabo, 33, a tiler; and Adenekan Adedeji, 40, a driver.

The accused pleaded not guilty to a three-count of defilement and sexual assault by penetration brought against them.

According to the State Prosecutor, Ms I. Solarin, the employees committed the offences sometime in November 2015 at the company’s
premises located at Fagba-Iju Road, Agege, Lagos.

“The accused on different occasions defiled the two sisters of ages three and five years.

“They also on different occasions sexually assaulted the older sister who is five years old by putting their sexual organ in her mouth,” Solarin said.

According to court documents, the children who are nursery and primary school pupils, spent time at their father’s workplace after school hours.

The children, were on several occasions, left in the company of the accused and other members of staff while their father (name withheld) was working.

“It was when the children were left alone with the accused that the series of defilement allegedly took place.

“The three-year-old, who was experiencing pains in her private parts, was the first to disclose that she was defiled to her father.

“The father also found out that her older daughter was also defiled by his colleagues,” Solarin told the court.

The offences violated Sections 137 and 259 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011.

Justice Sybil Nwaka adjourned the case until April 27 for trial.
