He said he had been living in the neighborhood since 2006 and was a labourer until recently when he started selling alcohol in front of his house.

Following the plea of the accused, Ibrahim asked for an adjournment to enable him to bring the child and the mother to court.

Chief Magistrate Akeagu Azubike remanded the accused in prison custody and adjourned the case to March 23 for further hearing.
