A Magistrate Court sitting in Ogudu, Lagos State, has ordered the remand of 22-year-old security guard, Ifeanyi Kelvin Udoka, over the alleged rape of a four-year-old girl.

The matter has been adjourned to June 25 for further proceedings.
Udoka was arraigned on Monday by the Lagos State Police Command on charges relating to the alleged defilement of the minor.
“That you, Ifeanyi Kelvin Udoka ‘M’, sometimes in May, 2025, at King Heritage School Ikosi Ketu in the Ikeja Magisterial district did defile one (name withheld) ‘F’, age 4 years old, by having canal knowledge of her and thereby committed an offence punishable under section 137 of the criminal law of Lagos State 2015,” the charge sheet reads.
According to the charge sheet, the alleged rape of the minor occurred at King Heritage School, located in Ikosi-Ketu.
A source familiar with the matter said the incident came to light when the child’s grandmother observed strange behaviour after the girl returned home from school.

The child told the woman that the security guard at the school touched her “bum bum”.
The Ketu police station is prosecuting the case.
