Suleman Usman, 37, on Wednesday appeared before an Igbosere Magistrates’ Court in Lagos, accused of sexually assaulting his two under-aged daughters.
The girls are aged 8 and 5 years respectively.
The Prosecuting Officer, Sgt. Friday Mameh, told the court that the accused committed the offences in May at his residence.
Usman, who lives at No. 2, Balle St., Apapa, Lagos, is facing a two-count charge bordering on sexual assault.
The offences contravene Sections 261 and 263 (1) (2) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

According to Mameh, “Usman on several occasions penetrated the vagina of his two daughters before his wife caught him.”
The prosecutor said the case was reported at the police station and the accused was arrested for further questioning.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The Magistrate, Mrs. M. F. Onamusi, remanded the accused in prison with an order that the case file be duplicated and forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for advice.
She adjourned the case until Oct. 24 for mention.
