According to Punch:
It was gathered that the victim was defiled on January 24, 2015 at her parents’ house on Adeshokan Street, Ayobo, Lagos State. Churchill had first inserted his fingers into the victim’s private parts before having sex with her. The case was later reported to the police after it was discovered by her parents. The defendant was arraigned on one count of sexual assault.
The charge read, “That you, Kingsley Churchill, on January 24, 2015, at Adeshokan Street, Ayobo, Lagos in the Lagos Magisterial District, did sexually assault a four-year-old girl by inserting both your finger and man-hood into her vagina.” The police prosecutor, Etim Nkankuk, said the offence was punishable under Section 259 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, Nigeria, 2011.
Churchill pleaded not guilty. The defence counsel, J.A. Adewunmi, applied for his client’s bail in liberal terms. The Chief Magistrate, A.O. Isaac, granted him bail in the sum of N50, 000 with two sureties in like sum.
