A family court in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Tuesday, remanded one Michael Ayinde and his son, Abiola, for allegedly raping his daughter and the latter, his sister.
The 51-year-old father and the 19-year-old son committed the offense at their residence in Agboti Olosan area, Alakia, Ibadan.
The magistrate, Mrs O. O. Ogunkanmi, rejected the pleas of the defendants and ordered their remand at the Abolongo correctional facility, Oyo town.
Ogunkanmi said that the remand of the father and son in custody was to allow the court to wait for the outcome of legal advice from the Oyo State Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
