Ado-Ekiti Chief Magistrate’s Court has docked a 40-year-old man identified as Adebayo Ojo on Wednesday on one count of sexually assaulting an 18-year-old boy.
According to the police prosecutor identified as Inspector Monica Ikebuilo, the defendant committed the offence on September 6, 2020, in Ayegbaju Ekiti in the Oye Local Government Area of the state.

Ikebuilo, however, urged the court for adjournment to enable her study the case file and present her witnesses.
