It was a moment of jaw dropping drama at the premises of the Tinubu Magistrate Court in Lagos on Wednesday as a lawyer was caught fondling the breasts and private part of a 9-year-old who was said to have accompanied her grandmother who had a civil case in court and needed a lawyer.
According to report, while the young girl's grandmother was trying to get a lawyer who would assist her with her case, the lawyer allegedly tricked the little girl to an alley within the court premises where he carried the girl on his laps and started fondling her private part and breast after giving her his phone.
The girl's grandmother however suspected a fowl play after the molested girl was seen crying, when
asked what the problem was, she pointed to the lawyer, saying he fondled her breast and also touched her private part.
An eyewitness said the lawyer was seen walking around the court premises in company of the 9-year-old telling those who sought to know that the girl was her daughter.
The noise created as a result of the incident led to a disruption of court proceedings, the matter was brought to the attention of the Chief Magistrate, K. B. Ayeye who later ordered the lawyer to be taken over to Lion Building Police Station, Lagos Island where the case is currently being handled.
