Friday, July 12, 2024 - A Chief Magistrates’ Court in Kafanchan, Kaduna State, has ordered a 30-year-old teacher, Josiah Alkali, to be remanded in a correctional facility for allegedly abusing four boys
Alkali was charged by the Nigeria Security and
Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC) on four separate charge sheets with unnatural
offence, contrary to section 259 of the Kaduna State Penal Code Law.
The four boys were between the ages of 13 and 15
years.
The NSCDC prosecutor, Mr Marcus Audu, told the
court that the matter was reported to the Corp’s office for investigation by
the Salama Sexual Assault Referral Centre, Kafanchan on July 3.
Audi explained that the defendant committed the act
with the boys separately on multiple occasions between February and July 2024.
He said the defendant lured each of the boys into
his room at Takau and had sex with them through the anus.
According to him, the defendant threatened to kill
them if they told anyone about the affair.
The prosecutor
added that during the course of investigation, he confessed to the commission
of the crime.
The Presiding Judge, Samson Kwasu, however,
declined to take the defendant’s plea for lack of jurisdiction to entertain the
matter.
Kwasu directed the prosecutor to forward duplicate
copies of the case files to the State Director of Public Prosecution for legal
advice.
He, thereafter, adjourned the matter until July 25
for further mention.
