According to the prosecution represented by an officer at the Attorney General’s office, the delay in presenting the bail of indictment is a result of the failure of the police to forward case docket to the AG on time.

The 22-year-old man Lucas Agboyie, alias “Sympathy”, has been charged with murder.

Confessing in court on his first appearance in September 2016, Agboyie threw his arms wildly about as he described events that led to the little girl’s death.

"It was a Sunday morning and after taking ‘ganja’, I saw the girl passing. I called her and sent her to go and bring me my towel that had been hung behind my house. On her return, I told her that I wanted to sleep with her but she refused."
