A 29-year-old policeman, Sylvester Shamaki, who supposedly forcefully used his hands to murder a 22-year-old girl, was on Wednesday brought before a Yaba Magistrates' Court in Lagos.

Sylvester, whose address was not given, is facing a charge of sexual assault.

The Police Prosecutor, Sgt. Modupe Olaluwoye, told the court that the accused committed the offence on March 14 at 6.30 p.m. at No 9 Adebisi Tolani Str., Medina Estate, Gbagada, Lagos.

Olaluwoye said that the accused attacked the complainant (name withheld) by forcing himself on her entering her private part with his palms.

According to the Prosecutor, the offence contravenes Section 261 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

The policeman, however, pleaded not guilty to this charge.

The Magistrate, Mrs O. J Oghere, at a judgment remanded the accused and ordered that the case file should be delivered to Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for information.
