Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>An 8-year-old girl, who was reportedly defiled by one Lekan Tunji Oyedele in Abeokuta, has died.<\/p>\n

The victim died on Monday at a time the trial of the suspect is still ongoing in the capital of Ogun State.<\/p>\n

Oyedele was dragged before a family court sitting at Isabo, on a one-count charge last year.<\/p>\n

According to the charge sheet, the defendant had defiled the minor on June 27, 2022 at Lagbua, Kemta Housing Estate, Idi-aba.<\/p>\n

The defendant was reported to have defiled the victim, after which he also inserted a blackish substance into her private part with his finger.<\/p>\n

The offence is punishable under Section 33 of the Child Rights Law of Ogun State, 2006, the charge reads.<\/p>\n

The suspect had at the commencement of trial pleaded not guilty to the allegation against him, and he was granted bail by the Magistrate court.<\/p>\n

The Prosecuting counsel, M. J. Oyefesobi, had closed his case after calling witnesses and presenting some evidence in support of the case.<\/p>\n

As the defendant was about to open his open defence on Thursday, the Court was informed that the defiled girl had passed on.<\/p>\n

As a result, the Defence Counsel, T. A. Akinsola, prayed the court to adjourn the case, an application that was not opposed by the Prosecuting counsel.<\/p>\n

Magistrate Mrs E.O Idowu, therefore, adjourned the matter till August 3 for opening of defence.<\/p>\n

The Complainant, Barrister Adedamola Lapite, told newsmen that the girl died while preparing for school on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe dressed up for school and she was told to go and pick up her water bottle. She just dropped dead,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

However, he said the victim\u2019s death would not stop the ongoing trial.<\/p>\n
