Elias said the court had no jurisdiction over the case and therefore transferred the matter to the Apapa Magistrates’ Court.
The incestuous father who resides with his family at Oke-Ogba Street, Badagry, was arraigned on two-counts of defilement and rape.
The police prosecutor, Sergeant Rafael Donny, had told the court that the offences were committed between January and May at the accused’s residence, after Ogbar raped his two older daughters, aged 24 and 20, while also defiling the third daughter, who is 10-years-old.
