We had sex two times by mutual agreement ─ 14-year-old confess

Firstclass newsline learnt that a 14-year-old girl, Jibola , has said
she willingly had sex in a hotel on Omotolu Street, Amukoko, Lagos
State, with one Abib Muftau, who had been dating her since 2014.
The girl made the confession after the police arrested 19-year-old
Muftau, for unlawfully having a carnal knowledge of her.
The suspect was also accused of conniving with one other person at
large, around 7pm on May 2, to detain the girl at his residence on
Adejinyan Street, where he reportedly had another round of sex with
her.
Firstclass newsline learnt that the minor returned home late on the
fateful day and was quizzed by her mother. It was learnt that she
eventually divulged her whereabouts to the mother, who reported the
incident at the Amukoko Police Station, leading to Muftau's arrest.
The police said Muftau made love with Jibola sometime in October and
December, 2014, without her parents' consent. It was also said he
lured her into the relationship with a marriage promise.
In her statement, Jibola said she and the suspect had been dating each
other for eight months. She also stated that Muftau did not have sex
with her under duress.
She said, "I know Abib (Muftau). He lives on Adejinyan Street,
Amukoko. He started dating me last year September and since our
relationship started, he had made love with me twice. The first time
was in a hotel on Omotolu Street, Amukoko. It was one hour he booked
for and he paid N500. He only did it once.
"In October, 2014, he had sex with me again in his room when his
mother, brothers and sisters were not around. On May 2, I was in the
house when he came around evening and asked me to follow him to his
house."
Muftau was arraigned in an Apapa Magistrate's Court on three counts
bordering on unlawful sexual intercourse and abduction, which
according to the police, are punishable under sections 409, 267 and
258 (2) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2011.
The charges read in part, "That you, Abib Muftau, and one other at

her.
"That you, sometime in October and December, 2014 at a hotel and at
your residence on Adenjiyan Street did have sexual intercourse with
Jibola with fraudulent representation that you want to marry her."
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
