Amedu said the accused, who resides in the same compound with the victims, who are 8 and 11 years, defiled them in his room.

"He usually calls them with the pretence of sending them on errands and then carries out his evil act.

Amedu said the offences contravened Sections 137 and 259 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
