The police in Lagos on Monday brought a 40-year-old lawyer, Christopher Uzomaka, before a Tinubu Magistrate’s Court, Lagos, on fresh four charges bordering on unlawful penetration into the private parts of a nine-year-old girl.
It was learnt that the victim lived with her parents in London, United Kingdom and had come to Nigeria on vacation.
Uzomaka had been arraigned on August 12 before the court on three counts related to the alleged crime which he was said to have committed inside one of the courtrooms in the magistrate’s court.

The minor had followed her grandma, who is a claimant in a civil matter before the court, to the premises on August 11 when the incident happened.
It was gathered that the lawyer, who the woman wanted to engage to handle the case, was initially playing with the victim before he lured her into the vacant courtroom, where he reportedly carried out the act.
The girl was said to have rushed from the court in tears and told her grandmother that the lawyer fondled her breast, and dipped his finger into her private parts.
The grandmother said the victim had declined to speak on the incident until she took her to a secluded place on the court premises.
