“Adeyemi barged into the bathroom while the complainant was having her bathe and tried to forcefully have sexual intercourse with her.

“Adeyemi escaped from the scene, stole the complainant’s phone valued N40,000 and also took her towel with him,” the inspector revealed.

The presiding Magistrate, Margaret Dan-Oni, granted the accused bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum and adjourned the case to October 6.

If found guilty, Adeyemi faces possible 14 years imprisonment (section 260), as his act contravened sections 171, 260 and 285 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2011.
