Atime was remanded for allegedly having forceful sexual intercourse with a nine-year-old girl through the anus.

The police on Monday charged the defendant, who lives at Daudu IDP Camp in Guma Local Government Area of Benue, with Unnatural Offence.

However, the Magistrate, Mrs Roseline Iyorshe, did not take his plea for want of jurisdiction and adjourned the matter until June 21, for further mention.

Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Insp. Godwin Ato, told the court that on May 5, the case was received at the State CID, Makurdi from the Divisional Police Headquarters in Daudu.
